Paul McCartney says he's used AI to make 'the last Beatles record' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Paul McCartney says a new Beatles song with John Lennon's vocals will be released this year, thanks to a little help from the fifth Beatle — an artificial intelligence program.

The legendary singer told BBC Radio 4's Today show on June 13 that an AI program has been able to "extricate" John Lennon's voice from an old demo track in order to finish the song, according to the BBC.

“We just finished it up and it’ll be released this year,” McCartney said.

I always thought The Doors should've done a cover of "Stormy" by Classics IV before Jim Morrison died, after that post-humous release of "Gloria," by Them. Looks like we can fake it now with AI.

Or, maybe we really can have the Beatles doing a supposed early version of "Champagne Supernova" by Oasis.

Paul McCartney Sets Record Straight on New Beatles Project
by Emlyn Travis
June 22, 2023

Sir Paul McCartney is clearing the air about the new Beatles song that was created with the help of artificial intelligence.

The legendary hitmaker, 81, addressed the growing "confusion" and "speculation" about the track — which he's previously stated will act as the final Beatles song — amongst fans in an Instagram Story statement on Thursday.

"Been great to see such an exciting response to our forthcoming Beatles project," McCartney began. "No one is more excited than us to be sharing something with you later in the year."

However, the musician acknowledged that "we've seen some confusion and speculation" about the song since announcing it.

"Seems to be a lot of guess work there," McCartney wrote about the hubbub. "Can't say too much at this stage but to be clear, nothing has been artificially or synthetically created. It's all real and we all play on it. We cleaned up some existing recordings — a process which has gone on for years."

The musician capped off his statement by adding that he hopes fans love the song "as much as we do" and that additional information about it — including a release date — would be announced "in due course."
