Religion News Service reports that AI-generated Sikh devotional music, known as shabads, is circulating on YouTube, prompting renewed debate within the Sikh community over technology and tradition. Musician and yoga instructor Karina Skye Kaur said the AI-made recordings feel like they lack the consciousness and intention behind human worship, even though she initially enjoyed the sound. The article draws a parallel to a century-old debate among Sikhs over whether installing electric lights at the Golden Temple in 1897 would diminish the shrine’s sanctity.
