    The last Beatles song is heavily touched by AI, long since the death of John and George.

      My mom was a big Beatles fan so I’ve listened to them my whole life. Good stuff.

      But that “new” song sucked sooo bad. And it won a Grammy? What a joke. Gotta be one of the worst Beatles song ever released

      FWIW the AI was really only used to extract “clean” vocals from the demo. Similar to Spleeter but obviously a lot more advanced. Restoring audio quality is a great use of machine learning

        They also quantized both John and George’s recordings with AI. Not as bad as actual generative AI but also contrary to what made the old recordings great.
