Despite using artificial intelligence tools to help resuscitate old John Lennon vocals, Paul McCartney is now against some AI uses.

      Yeah, but one of his band mates was responsible for Lennonism. You’ve gotta take the good with the bad.

      I wrote a metal track and burnt a tree down to produce it with some AI thing earlier this year, it was pretty funny. I figured if the message could affect one dumbass kid it would be worth the tree. https://www.tiktok.com/@serlava_gaming/video/7420624341198458155 the actual start of the song is at 2:00 in, i started in the middle of the song because tiktok

      AI will never destroy Stavcore. They lack the soul to take a pre-existing song and replace the lyrics with something like “I’m gay and my penis is small”

          To replace Stav the Cackling Glutton, not Stav the Comedy Genius

          Treasures such as Thousand Island Stare and Dream to Imagine and the little parody songs can never be replicated by AI

    I think the AI tools used for the last song was primarily to separate Lennons voice and piano from the artifacts of the poor quality demo, including a persistent hiss.

    Bad sensationalist headline, should really be more clear about what uses are being discussed. He’s clearly not against the audio tools that helped on the song, but against generative AI exploitation. There’s no reversal going on.

      It’s even explained in the first link of the article. About as much “using AI” as DLSS is for video game rendering. Which is to say, a lot, but not in the way people think of “AI” now

    The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as “the greatest or most significant or most influential” rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

      Oh come on, that’s absurd. I’m not a Beatles fanboy but they were incredibly influential, clearly very creative, and made so many different sounds, that it’s really undeniable that they were among the greatest of all time.

      Put it in the context of the era. Alright, it’s not free form Jazz but it’s still incredibly talented. They blew up because nobody was doing it like them.

      Johnny Thunders and the Heatbreakers was the best rock band. The Beatles never wrote One Track Mind
