Although technically impressive, I put this usage of AI in the same category as a gimmick or low-brow entertainment.
So what if someone painstakingly copied a Sinatra sound, reproduced his voice and changed the lyrics for a single song. The real "gold" is for an application to seamlessly do this for any song with the user having full edit control of the output; and my prediction is that some company will provide exactly this within 5 years.

BiaB and AI could be a perfect marriage to allow the creation of fully editable custom styles and chord sheets (much like we have today) based on giving it a target audio sample. So if you want a Sinatra style, feed it a Sinatra audio sample. If you want a Frank Zappa, Chicago, chanting Monks meditation music or any other style, just supply the appropriate audio sample and the output would be a ready-to use SGU file. The days of scrolling thru and auditioning hundreds of pre-programmed styles would be replaced with laser focussing on the style you want.

This technology needs to move from the novelty/consumer/listener domain to the creative/editable/musician domain.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
