Liam Gallagher liked an AI Oasis album using his AI voice. His brother Noel had a different opinion

A second Gallagher brother has spoken out about AI-generated versions of his former band's music — and because one brother loved it, the other, of course, had to hate it.

In an interview with Spin magazine, Noel Gallagher — the crabbier of the two warring brothers who made up the backbone of 90s rock band Oasis — bashed the phenomenon of AI-generated versions of an artist's voice, like the faux Drake song that lit the internet on fire last month.

From that Spin interview with Noel:

Did you hear any of this AI Oasis music that recently popped up?
Fucking embarrassing. I just think people clearly have too much time and money on their hands if they’re fucking around with that for a laugh. I mean, who wants to fucking hear Ringo Starr singing “She’s Electric” and Freddie Mercury singing “Don’t Look Back in Anger?” Life’s too short for that shit.

How did you find out about it?
How do you find out about anything? Somebody sent me a text with a laughing face emoji saying, “is this real?” Of course, it’s not real, you fucking moron!

What do you think of AI?
AI will be the final nail in the coffin of music. I’m sure that the major record labels are now working on the technology to copyright it and machines will write music. Why hire a songwriter when you can own a machine to do it? Then Harry Styles can pump out Harry Styles music for the rest of his fucking life.

Imagine having that when you were growing up…
The Matrix is real.

1. Liam and Noel are always fighting.

2. I know. Sibling rivalry, which some guys (including my two brothers)

never grow out of.

But I'd been very surprised Liam was so flattered by the AI copy, and I'd guess Noel's response was closer to how most musical artists feel.
