Splice CEO Kakul Srivastava Warns AI-Written Emails Harm Conversations

What changed

Splice CEO Kakul Srivastava says AI-written emails are harming conversations. Splice provides one-shots and melodic loops used by music producers, with samples appearing in Lisa’s “Money” and Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso.”

Why it matters

Srivastava’s criticism points to a practical problem: an email can be polished and still make an exchange less useful. If the writing is generated rather than thought through, conversation risks becoming a stream of plausible sentences without much real attention behind them.

That matters for any company where decisions, feedback and creative work move through inboxes. The warning is informed opinion, not a measured finding: the reporting gives no figure for how widespread AI-written email is or how much it changes conversations. Still, coming from a leader of a platform woven into working musicians’ creative processes, it is a sharp reminder that automation can flatten the human judgment it is meant to save.
