Paul McCartney has enlightened the use of artificial intelligence The Beatles‘ new song after it caused quite a stir on social media.
In a recent BBC radio interview, Paul shared that the British supergroup would be releasing and using a song this year AI to add the late John Lennon‘s vote on the track. However, with the technology at the center of much ethical debate, some fans have taken to social media and questioned its use, The Hollywood Reporter reported.
Seeing the confusion from fans, Paul wrote on Twitter: “It was great to see such an exciting reaction to our upcoming Beatles project. Nobody is more excited than us to share something with you later in the year.”
“We’ve seen some confusion and speculation about this. Seems to be a lot of guesswork. I can’t say too much at this point, but to be clear, nothing was created artificially or synthetically. It’s all real and we are.” “Everybody’s playing it. We have cleaned up some existing recordings – a process that has been going on for years. We hope you like it as much as we do. More news will follow in due course,” he added.

McCartney’s first announcement last week detailed how the new song came about in the first place and what inspired her to complete it.
“When we came in to do the last Beatles record, it was a demo that John had,” McCartney explained during the interview. “We were able to take John’s voice and clean it through this AI. Then we can mix the record like you normally would.”
It was then the 2021 Beatles documentary Get Back, directed by Peter Jackson, that pushed them to actually finish the song because McCartney said that Jackson “was able to extract John’s voice from a flimsy piece.” to free the cassette”.
“We had John’s voice and a piano and he could separate them with AI,” he added. “You tell the machine, ‘That’s the voice. That’s a guitar. Lose the guitar.’”
