Sinan Akçıl took a sharp, joking swipe at artificial intelligence before his performance at the 18th International Çubuk Culture and Pickle Festival, saying technology could produce hits but could not match human feeling.

“AI may get one or two songs right a year, but we do more. We miss real emotion. AI has no soul,” Akçıl said when asked whether artificial intelligence might push musicians out of the industry.
