I don't know enough about Nick Cave to pass judgment, but he always seemed like a pretentious windbag to me. I do really like this quote though :

"ChatGPT has no inner being, it has been nowhere, it has endured nothing… it doesn’t have the capacity for a shared transcendent experience, as it has no limitations from which to transcend.”
