Splice CEO Says AI-Written Emails Kill Conversation as 1 Remote-First Team Guards Human Input

1 articles · Updated · The Verge · Oct 3

Summary

  • Kakul Srivastava said AI-written emails and documents are making workplace communication worse by obscuring whether a real person is behind the words.
  • At Splice, the remote-first music platform, she said strong written documents followed by real debate replace the hallway conversations an office would normally provide.
  • Srivastava tied that view to Splice’s broader AI strategy, arguing the company tries to keep humans at the center of creative tools rather than offer push-button song generation.
  • The stance extends skepticism she voiced last year about generative music products like Suno, underscoring her effort to balance Silicon Valley AI with creative authenticity.
