AI creates a 'funk Metallica' so good some people talk about spirits
Artificial intelligence has achieved what seemed impossible: turning Metallica's thrash metal into a disco funk track that, to some ears, sounds like the band's best album. The song has been circulating widely on social media, along with an unexpected reaction: some claim there is more than algorithms behind the neural network.
The theory gained traction when old remarks by Elon Musk resurfaced: according to the billionaire, consulting AI is like consulting 'spirit oracles'. The leap to the paranormal was completed by the mention of a program called Oracle, which some see as a sign that the connection with the supernatural is programmed in.
Some went even further: AI doesn't just make good music, it has, according to them, always been controlling hit music. 'Mind programming', they sum up. The message is clear: what sounds good might not be the result of chance.
While most people take it as a technological curiosity and laugh at the quality of the result, a minority sees in the 'funk Metallica' proof that AI channels something more than data. The debate is served, with rhythm and conspiracy.
