    No mention of the models or tech used in the article. I did some digging and found this. Seems to be made with QuickWick on Hugging Face[1] with the community on Discord[2].

    Amazing how fast AI is moving these days. Hard to tell if we're at an infection point or a plateau. Whatever the case, this is what drew me into tech, and I'm loving the ride.

    If Paul really does practice what he preaches " Do What You Feel Like " morality then he should have no problem with others choosing to make singing sounds exactly like he might have, but didn't. At least oasis says approving things about their better a.i. halves - aisis.

    I don't know, I feel like even a real version of the Beatles singing God Only Knows would disappoint. I just can't picture Paul McCartney signing it.

    The fact that this is AI-generated is amazing. To be completely honest, the God Only Knows one almost sounds like a voice actor/impersonator, so it's not completely there just yet. It's exaggerated and it just lacks soul. But New is much better, almost there.

    God only knows with Paul’s voice could totally be a Beatles song.
