, but courtesy of today's Grauniad there's proof that someone's gone and done it. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/ ... -gallagher
The music, lyrics, and performance are all by a band called Breezer that came and went without leaving much trace but then the singer had the idea of replacing his vocals with vocals created by one of the AIs out there that can be trained on a few minutes of someone's voice and sound like them, with varying degrees of plausibility. In any case, the singer or someone helping him found acapella snippets of Liam singing, and they trained the generative AI model pretty well. They laid the new AI produced vocals over the stems of their old songs and badda boom it's AISIS. It would even be a great new band name except for the unfortunate inclusion of the name ISIS. This seems to give YT's algorithm some strange ideas of what you'd like to see. Avoid these is my advice =:-0
Here's a YT vid they uploaded recently. It jams IMHO. (YMMV)

It's going to get really interesting legally because of US Supreme Court rulings over here that AI-generated content can't be protected with a patent or copyright. If someone wanted to start a band with an AI based Elvis Presley, I don't know if they could be stopped by the Presley estate. A lot of lawsuits probably coming. But AI generated content is definitely here to hear. That YT vid sounds a LOT like Liam and Oasis c. 1995. Spooky. Awesome. Maybe both.
