Comment This week witnessed the destructive
potential of AI in action as someone thought it'd be a good idea to
bring brainless Britpop bores Oasis back from the dead.

Chris Woodgates and Bobby Geraghty, formerly of Hastings-based [Oasis
wannabes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f77YHrv19j4) Breezer, released
"AISIS - The Lost Tapes / Vol.1" last Friday, which they describe as "an
alternate reality concept album where the band's 95-97 line-up continued
to write music, or perhaps all got together years later to write a
record akin to the first three albums, and only now has the master DAT
tape from that session surfaced."

Explaining the impetus for the project, they said: "We're bored of
waiting for Oasis to reform, so we've got an AI modelled Liam Gallagher
to step in and help out on some tunes that were written during lockdown
2021."

[](https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/jump?co=1&iu=/6978/reg_offbeat/front&sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&tile=2&c=2ZEKo6f3qG@0NE1exGwNK6AAAAEs&t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D2%26raptor%3Dcondor%26pos%3Dtop%26test%3D0)

Basically what they did was write derivative and obnoxious janglepop and
force-fed a poor computer Liam Gallagher's insipid drawl then made it
sing over their tracks.

[](https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/jump?co=1&iu=/6978/reg_offbeat/front&sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&tile=3&c=33ZEKo6f3qG@0NE1exGwNK6AAAAEs&t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D3%26raptor%3Deagle%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0)

The result is fairly convincing, but we only made it a minute and a half
in. See if you can fare any better.

Talking more enthusiastically about AISIS to [*The
Times*](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/oasis-album-made-with-ai-shows-how-bands-could-live-forever-5mz38fl6b),
Woodgates said: "It was essentially a case of training an algorithm on
hours and hours of Liam Gallagher a capella and the sounds of his voice
so that it could start to model the tone, the cadence, \[of\] how Liam
sounds. Anyone with a bit of time and commitment to it could do the same
thing."

The album gained traction among the musically challenged in the
following days, leading some to seek a review from the horse's mouth.
One fan asked Gallagher if he had heard AISIS and he
[replied](https://twitter.com/liamgallagher/status/1648548442426277891):
"Not the album heard a tune it's better than all the other snizzle out
there."

He then [told someone
else](https://twitter.com/liamgallagher/status/1648540394639032320?s=20):
"Mad as fuck I sound mega."

[](https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/jump?co=1&iu=/6978/reg_offbeat/front&sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&tile=3&c=33ZEKo6f3qG@0NE1exGwNK6AAAAEs&t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D3%26raptor%3Deagle%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0)

Liam's brother, Oasis guitarist and occasional singer Noel, was less
chuffed, telling BBC Radio 2: "They can make it sound like Liam. They
can't make it sound like me. I cannot be reproduced," though *The
Register* would argue that a beginner could reproduce the quality of
Noel's playing with a month or two of practice.

This isn't the only AI project to storm the music industry this week. A
TikTok user under the name ghostwriter977 released a song called "Heart
On My Sleeve" created with AI to sound like a collaboration between
Drake and The Weeknd – two more artists Vulture Central has little time
for. The track's reception was inexplicably positive, [leading to
millions of streams
online](https://www.billboard.com/pro/fake-drake-ai-song-earned-millions-streams-get-paid/).

However, while Liam believes AISIS sounds "mega," the position of
Universal Music Group, which reps both Drake and The Weeknd, couldn't be
more different.

The world's largest music company has been firing off emails to
streaming services like iTunes and Spotify demanding that they block AI
from scraping their copyrighted songs for material, [according to the
*Financial
Times*](https://www.ft.com/content/aec1679b-5a34-4dad-9fc9-f4d8cdd124b9).

A spokesperson told the paper: "We have a moral and commercial
responsibility to our artists to work to prevent the unauthorized use of
their music and to stop platforms from ingesting content that violates
the rights of artists and other creators. We expect our platform
partners will want to prevent their services from being used in ways
that harm artists."

Almost as quickly as the track went viral, it was snuffed out by
streaming platforms, including TikTok where it first took root. Drake
himself said that an AI-generated cover of him rapping an Ice Spice song
was ["the last
straw"](https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/drake-reacts-ice-spice-munch-ai-1235303454/)
in an Instagram post.

There is not yet a firm legal framework around AI music so the industry
is treading new ground and coming down hard. Still, AISIS's Woodgates
believes it won't go away and the business "will have to catch up."

"Liam Gallagher will be around forever now," he said. "We're not going
to be the only ones to do this. I think there is a positive side to it."

Liam Gallagher forever? Stop the world – I want to get off. ®
