The Welshman said he had not realised until attending the Ivor Novello Awards that AI technology was being increasingly used to “finish off people’s songwriting”.
“I’m not against forward-thinking technology and how things are progressing, but I think art should come from people, I mean the basics of it anyway,” he said.
“I think art has always been somebody’s expression, a real person’s expression from a heart, from a head.
“If you’re going to start an idea, then a computer finishes it, I mean, it’s OK, but it’s just about algorithms and things like that.”
Jones added: “I’m [also] not really into 10 songwriters on a song.
“It’s like if you’re making a painting, you’ve got 10 painters chucking paint on a canvas. I mean, whose painting is it anymore?”
