Beatles to release final song using AI 🎵

🎵 Featured Story:

Paul McCartney, from the Beatles, has made a new song with the help of AI. He used an old recording of John Lennon's voice to make this song, more than 50 years after the Beatles broke up. [link]

• A demo of John Lennon’s voice was fed to an AI which made the voice “pure” and enabled mixing. It is set to be released later this year.

• “Heart on my sleeve” generated by AI using Drake and the Weeknd’s voices went viral earlier in the year. It does sound really good 🔥

• Artists are divided on the AI music issue where some demand their voice not be used without permission while others like Grimes encourage their followers.

🧠 Key Insight: 

Imagine a world 20 years from now where most songs are generated by AI. As long as it is good, would you still listen to and admire it? Or does the origin matter to you and you would dismiss it as NOT true art?
