This is funny. It's almost certain among Beatles fan the upcoming "new Beatles song" will be "Now and Then", the third song the three surviving Beatles (the Threetles) worked on in 1994-95 for the Anthology project, based again on a Lennon solo demo. (George vetoed it because he didn't think if was good enough.)

Now youtubers are creating their own AI version of it. It'll be funny to compare the results with what actually comes out!

I'm curious to know the reaction of  - as a K-pop fan and AI skeptic - to this Reuters article just published by the ABC:

BTS's K-pop label HYBE uses AI to record tracks in multiple languages

Quote:The K-pop label behind hit boy band BTS has broken music barriers again, using artificial intelligence to meld a South Korean singer's voice with the native speakers of five other languages.

The artificial intelligence (AI) technology enabled South Korea's largest music label, HYBE, to release a track by singer MIDNATT in six languages.

The song, released in May, was produced in Korean, English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese despite the singer's limited language skills.

Heh terrible idea artistically but I'm sure it will be done by other companies as well unless the brand reputation sinks.

Much modern music is a terrible idea artistically, created by producers rather than artists and musicians and performed by the best looking or those with "attitude" (i.e. arrogance)  I suppose AI is just another step in the same direction.  It will become big because the punters have no critical faculties!

It's now here, as reported by the ABC a few days ago:

The Beatles release final ever song Now and Then. Is it any good?

Yeah I saw that when it came out, Laird! I happened to hear it 20 minutes after it was published!
