Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones has spoken about the growing use of artificial intelligence in music saying that “art should come from people”. The 49-year-old lead singer of the rock band which formed in Wales in 1992 also questioned the move towards multiple songwriters on a release. Jones spoke to Times Radio at Latitude Festival in Henham Park, Suffolk, on Sunday after he played with his new band Far From Saints. The Welsh musician said he had not realised until attending the Ivor Novello Awards that AI technology is being increasingly used to “finish off people’s songwriting”. He also said: “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. “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, it’s not my personal feeling on where it should come from. “I’m not really into 10 songwriters on a song. “It’s like if you’re making painting, you’ve got 10 painters chucking paint on a canvas, I mean, whose f****** painting is it anymore?” Far From Saints have been touring festivals after releasing Let’s Turn This Back Around earlier this year. Jones, who set up his new band with Patty Lynn of The Wind And The Wave, said since the pandemic and the UK’s break from the European Union it has become harder to make money from music. He said: “It’s kind of a nightmare with… Brexit and all that sort of stuff. “So it’s a very different place since Brexit, since Covid, since all of that stuff. “So it’s not easy to make a living of it if you’re a brand new kid coming out onto the street, ‘just let’s get in a van and go make music’ – it’s kind of hard.” There has been a mixed response to the technology in the music business, with country star Dolly Parton voicing concerns about AI while Black Eyed Peas member Will.i.am has taken an optimistic view on new music software. Last month, Parton told a press event: “I think I’ve left a great body of work behind. “I have to decide how much of that high-tech stuff I want to be involved because I don’t want to leave my soul here on this Earth.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live TikTok is now most favourable single source of news in UK teenagers, research shows Talk of AI dangers has ‘run ahead of the technology’, says Nick Clegg Eurostar passengers can avoid UK passport checks by having faces scanned

France suffered a blow early in their Women’s World Cup campaign as they were held to a 0-0 draw by a battling Jamaica as the group stages continue in Australia and New Zealand. Les Bleues came into the tournament under new coach Herve Renard after Corrine Diacre’s controversial reign was brought to an end just four months before the tournament. But Renard could only watch as his side were stifled by the relentless pressing of the Reggae Girlz with Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw and Drew Spence leading the way for the underdogs in a deserved goalless draw, despite Shaw’s late red card for a second booking. The Netherlands, runners-up four year ago under Sarina Wiegman, earlier battled past World Cup debutants Portugal 1-0 in Group E thanks to Stefanie van der Gragt’s early header. The Dutch were defeated by the United States in the 2019 final, and will face the defending champions later in the group stage. The USA began their defence with a 3-0 win against Vietnam on Saturday. Elsewhere, England opened their Women’s World Cup campaign with a win but the Lionesses were pushed all the way by Haiti in what was a close contest in Brisbane. Georgia Stanway’s retaken penalty in the first half was enough to earn England a narrow victory, but goalkeeper Mary Earps had to make a big stop to protect their lead late on.

An Instagram influencer and OnlyFans model has found herself an odd but lucrative niche by becoming an "emotional support stripper" for Ukrainian soldiers fighting in the war against Russia. Fan-Pei Koung, from Houston, Texas now lives in Ukraine describing herself as a "a globe-trotting girlfriend, now volunteering in Kharkiv." Amongst Koung's bizarre content for the soldiers includes strip-teases to air-raid sirens, 'free emotional breastfeeding to soldiers and volunteers' and posing in her underwear with weapons such as rocket launchers. However, all the money she earns from her output goes to humanitarian resources with income also going to other volunteers and towards Ukrainians themselves. Speaking to The Daily Beast, the 2015 Miss Taiwanese American Pageant competitor arrived in Ukraine in Novemeber, initially to help out as a volunteer to help refugees as well as working in women's shelters and orphanages in Lviv. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter She moved to Ukraine full-time in February and besides helping those caught up in the conflict with Russia she is also providing emotional support content for English-speaking soldiers (both Ukrainian and international troops) and is learning how to speak Ukrainian. The 33-year-old added: "People don’t talk about the sexual needs of the people of country at war. Think about the one part of you that needs to have a person you can confide in. I try to do that for anyone who speaks English, or Ukrainian at a 3-year-old level.” However, her support hasn't been warmly received by everyone. Koung revealed that she has received backlash from some fellow Western volunteers in a group chat who accused her of "making porn of off mass graves." Koung, who now refers to herself as a "sex tourist" added that she has "lost about 5,000 followers since this whole Ukraine thing. Because I went from being a sexy influencer to a sexy influencer who won’t stop talking about Ukraine.” Overall she admits that she prefers Ukrainian men to Americans as: "they [Ukrainians] treat me like an infant. They need to know what I want even before I know what I want. I’ve never been treated like that in my life." Have your say in our news democracy.
