Did you hear what Paul McCartney did?

Don't ask me how, BUT, he got AI to come up with John Lennon's vocal tones-his singing voice. The Beatles have a new (maybe last) song coming out, and they wanted to have John singing, too. I don't know about George Harrision-he wasn't mentioned but it's supposed to be a song sung by all 4 Beatles. I don't know the name of the song and I know this isn't much information but it's all I read. I'll be waiting!!!!!

I didn't know where to post this so it may already have been mentioned. Good! It should be!

I read it was a demo of a new song that John had made two weeks before his murder. They were able to build around that.

To me it sounds sort of creepy to use AI for a dead person's voice.

Too bad the crooks who use this don't think it's creepy. Now they are calling and using a voice known to the scam-ee. Remember the scam where the guy says hi grandma, I'm in trouble and need some money? Well, now it really will sound like her grand son. Don't ask me how they got his voice. I read the article-perhaps you have to know the person.

About the dead person's voice? Don't we all have records of songs we love sung by people who have passed? Never stopped me. Thank God we have their songs!

Slightly off topic: Has anyone ever heard the urban legend, conspiracy theory "Paul is Dead"? This is a wild theory that has been around for many years. There is a whole bunch of "clues" that point to this Paul McCartney is a imposter and the real one died years ago. It is ridculous of course. But it is an interesting read if you google it.

AI was used to separate out the instrument sounds and leave Lennon's voice.

Yes, I just heard about another case today where crooks used AI voice assimilation to call a mother on the phone and tell her that her daughter was kidnapped. Ransom was demanded. ..."Mom, I've been kidnapped."

I had never heard that conspiracy theory that Paul was dead! So I looked it up as you suggested. I just read an article in The Rolling Stone about it.

It was very interesting! Thanks for mentioning it.
