An in-depth analysis of the Beatles' 'Now and Then' — the 2023 single completed using ML-based audio source separation (MAL) to isolate John Lennon's voice from a degraded 1977 cassette demo. The piece traces the technical breakthrough developed by Peter Jackson's team for the Get Back documentary, examines the ethical and philosophical questions around posthumous AI-assisted creative works, and explores the broader implications: from the Grammy win validating AI-assisted music, to Drake's unauthorized AI-Tupac track, to fake AI songs appearing on deceased artists' Spotify profiles. It also covers emerging legislation like Tennessee's ELVIS Act and warns that commercial pressures will likely erode the careful restraint shown in the Beatles case.
