Robbie Williams uses AI to assist with his writing.
The Angels hitmaker, 52, says he gets the technology to help with his updates on Instagram, because he’s bad at spelling and grammar.
In an interview with CNBC, he said: “I write the thing first, and then I throw the thing into AI.
“I’ve thrown so much stuff at it now. It knows. It knows me back to front… The things I’m writing on Instagram, I can’t spell, my grammar’s terrible. They sort that out.”
Robbie might be embracing artificial intelligence – but that doesn’t cure his biggest fear: that his career could end at “any moment”.
The former Take That star – who has been open in the past about his struggles with anxiety and stage fright – admitted that despite three decades in the spotlight, the fear of slipping up has never really gone away.
He explained that the pressure of performing live still weighs heavily on him, especially given his years of experience and global success.
He added that the unpredictability of live television and huge arena shows means he never fully relaxes, joking that one wrong move could spark chaos.
Appearing on Virgin Radio earlier this year, he said: “I have autocue at the gigs and it is like having a safety wire, I know it but I have had moments on live TV where I have completely forgotten the words and completely forgotten the melody and that’s when you realise that the colour of adrenaline is brown!”
Robbie continued: “This is a type rope walk act…. We could fall. “I could cause an international incident at any moment, I could end my career at any moment! And that is the anxiety that I am walking with and talking with at all times.”
The singer suffers from major impostor syndrome.
He said: “It’s absolutely insane, my whole career exists on audacity and very little else.
“You know there is some shelves left unstacked at an Asda at Stoke-On-Trent because I am not there and that would be my rightful place.”
