Interesting AI Floyd/Maiden fusion?

Casting the net wider it seems there are a lot of these AI generated “music by band X in they style of band Y” things. In fact it turns out that I posted one in the “Music to lighten the mood” thread.

I know I said I wanted to keep the discussion to the artistic merits but I can’t help thinking this more directly harms the artists involved unless it is done with permission and appropriate royalties paid. I find myself wondering if this is the case.

@John_Scully

if you can use AI (it’s not intelligence of course, it’s just data churning) to identify what the pivotal 10% great unwashed want to hear then you’re going win every time.

Except it’s probably more like 80%, when it comes to music. Rick Beato and others have commented on how homogeneous the charts have become.

And people don’t necessarily like it: it’s just what’s easiest to produce for the record company. Why have something hard to manage, like a band, when you can have a tame singer?
