Paul Or Nothing - (1:19) May 28 2023: Sam is joined by Ken Michaels and Skylar Moody to discuss  the use of AI. As an example of what they are looking out with AI, a portion of a newly realised version of the Paul McCartney song new was played, where somebody had placed the vocal the Paul done with a vocal of a younger Paul McCartney. after this a portion of the song women and wives, where the same trick was pulled. I’m not too fond of the effect on this latter song. Oh, I completely forgot that on the song knew they added a back vocal of AI John Lennon. I can see, well understand all sides of this argument about using technology to alter peoples voices to younger versions of themselves, or to almost supreme Paul pose their voice over another singer, to see what it would sound like with them singing call Tom however, like Ken says the danger there of people not realising in the future that they are listening to a non-original version of this song, and not going back to the original source. Break in the middle for news and show feedback from listeners. “Ken’s the destroyer of worlds.” It is interesting that Ken mentioned the group queen, because I am worried about the fact that the members of Queen you all left could quite easily digitally plays Freddie into their own modern songwriting, they have written the songs after Freddie has died, and then got a digitised version, or AI version of Freddie singing the songs. I will just pull the curtain away slightly and admit that I started listening to this on the way home from work, and then listen to the last around 20 minutes on the way to work. Pun not intended. I wonder how people would feel about somebody messing about with Paul’s vocals on the album driving rain, which is infamously an album that a lot of people talk about the vocals? Oh my God, that AI version of temporary Secretary with AI John Lennon is terrible!
