Indian playback singer Benny Dayal is not treating AI as an immediate existential threat, but he rejects using it as a substitute for trained artistry and says emotion matters more than technical perfection.

Dayal told the publication that AI is acceptable as a “toy,” while music created through heavy reliance on AI risks insulting artists who spent years learning their craft. His argument centers on expression, individuality and performance rather than on technology alone.

For AI music creators, this is useful audience intelligence. Polished output is not the same as a persuasive artistic identity. Showing the human decisions behind lyrics, arrangement, performance and release strategy can answer authenticity concerns more effectively than claiming the technology is invisible.
