Sir Paul McCartney says he has employed artificial intelligence to help create what he calls “the final Beatles record”.
He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme the technology had been used to “extricate” John Lennon’s voice from an old demo so he could complete the song.
“We just finished it up and it’ll be released this year,” he explained.
Sir Paul did not name the song, but it is likely to be a 1978 Lennon composition called Now And Then. More
It’s not half bad. Listen
Yup! And eventually someone will use AI to release the Beatles very first never released album.
See where this is going.
Sir paul who?
Artificial Intelligence?….What the hell is wrong with REAL intelligence???
Artificial is too reminiscent of ‘trans-gender’ and liberal policy.
AI can’t copyright, so Paul is bending the dead Beatles over big time
Macca please …. Let It Be … ffs
Haven’t heard a Beatles song in 30 years. Hoping for another 30.
I don’t like it
The Abbey Road to hell is paved with good AI intentions… lol
/Salute
” … George didn’t like it. The Beatles being a democracy, we didn’t do it.”
can’t you just see the vote? Paul: ‘yea’. George: ‘nay. Ringo: ‘I’m with you fellas’.
btw, that ‘democracy’ was working great when John & Paul voted for George & Ringo to have one song per album.
Ahem…

I hope AI isn’t used for any of Yoko’s tracks. A robot rampage would be guaranteed.
to critique the song:
Lennon sounded like a Lennon in a Beatles tribute band
the harmonies didn’t sound like Harrison/McCartney … at all!
a few guitar riffs were reminiscent of Harrison during his the ’95 smaltz sessions
over-emphasis of bass in the beginning … thanks ‘Sir’ Paul
got a Yellow Dog CD of the evolution of Lennon’s ‘Strawberry Fields’ from bathroom recordings of his original concept to the final product … amazing look into his creative process.
this sounds like a first take studio version of a ‘work in progress’ … worse than ‘Real Love’
here’s an AI version of ‘I Wanna Hold Your Hand’

absolutely horrendous … I shudder for the future of music
The Beatles have been repackaging and reselling their music since they broke up. When they released the album 1 back in 2000 it was one of the big sellers of the year.
Overrated.
Hoof Hearted?
I’m no music critic.
The airwaves are full of mediocre to excruciatingly bad music. This song, will fit in.
It’s close to John Lennon’s voice but not quite, just what you’d expect from AI
I’d rather hear the sound of all my dishes breaking.
What a steaming mediocre pile of shit. Give it a rest Sir Paul. Your day has come and gone you old gummer. Wonder if his current wife is missing a leg too?
Didn’t he used to be in the Chinese group LINGS?
Somebody’s cat is in agony!
The Beatles owe it all to thousands of screaming, fainting, emotional pubescent teen girl fans.
I rest my case.
