Splice CEO says AI emails are killing conversation
What happened
On 3 October 2026, The Verge reported that Kakul Srivastava, CEO of the music creation platform Splice, publicly said that AI-written documents and emails are ruining real conversation. She argued that once people cannot tell whether a person is behind the text, discussion around that content turns into a different, worse kind of conversation, and that this change cannot be reversed. She also said Splice keeps humans at the centre of the creative process, and that she had publicly opposed Suno-style one-click song-generating AI last year. This is the only report on the matter so far, with no follow-up or contradicting account.

Kakul Srivastava is the CEO of Splice, the sample platform countless producers rely on for one-shots and melodic loops. Samples pulled from the service have found their way into massive hits like Lisa's "Money" and "Espresso" by Sabrina Carpenter. (The original samples are here and here, for the curious.)
