This statement reminds me of how older Queen albums like A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races proudly stated that No synthesizers! were used in the production of songs like Bohemian Rhapsody. Of course Queen did eventually relent and used these instruments on later albums. Did they do right in not using synths back then? Sure they did. Did they do right in using synths in their later albums? Sure they did. Does a statement like No synthesizers! or 'We never use AI. For anything' have added value other than informing the reader about the tools used to create a work? No, not really.
