Questions:
Did Joan Baez and Bob Dylan ever sing this as a duet at a concert? If not, could an AI-enabled audio editor create for this song, a duet of these two singing it?

ChatGPT Claims:

If you give me Dylan’s and Baez’s solo versions, I can:

Analyze both tracks to see their exact tempo, key, and structure.

Map out where verses and lines from each should be interwoven for the most natural duet flow.

Give you a step-by-step AI editing plan (including recommended tools and exact settings for time-stretching, pitch-matching, and blending).

Mark timestamps for where to cut, align, and crossfade so they sound like they’re in the same room.

You could then run those steps through an AI-enabled editor like iZotope RX, Ableton Live with Melodyne, or Audacity with Spleeter plugins, and you’d get a clean, believable Dylan–Baez duet.

Look how far the music industry has come since then. Just an observation.

2. Dylan's rawness always appealed to me.

He evolved repeatedly over the years, but the rawness stayed.
