Last Song

All you need is AI:
The song was cobbled together using an AI program called “stem separation” which allows operators to separate vocals or instruments from background noise. Using stem separation, the technicians were able to get a clear separation of John Lennon’s voice from a crude demo track he recorded years ago in his living room. Once Lennon’s singing was separated and cleaned up, McCartney and Starr added some prerecorded guitar licks by George Harrison, then added their own bits to the recording to complete it. If the Beatles win a Grammy for the song, it will be the first song to win such an award after being developed using AI technology. While the achievement with “Now and Then” was amazing for many, the use of AI is still a controversial one. Prominent film directors including James Cameron, Christopher Nolan, and Tim Burton have all condemned or issued dire prognostications about AI.
