John Legend: "I'm Your Chuanqi Ge! AI Can't Replace Me!" #JohnLegendInterview

American EGOT-winning artist John Legend sat down with CGTN reporter Wang Hui and immediately lit up at the nickname Chinese fans gave him — “I love it!"
On Chinese music, he shouted out local artists for blending traditional culture with Western pop "in really cool ways."
As for the rise of AI-generated songs, he called it like he sees it: human intuition, creativity, and uniqueness are things AI just can't learn. Especially during live shows — that face-to-face emotional connection with the audience? "AI can't replace me."
