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."

See if you can fare any better.

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/ad?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)](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. - [Proliferation of AI weapons among non-state actors could be impossible to stop](https://www.theregister.com/2023/04/21/ai_enhanced_weapons/) - [ChatGPT fans need 'defensive mindset' to avoid scammers and malware](https://www.theregister.com/2023/04/21/crooks_chatgpt_schemes/) - [Google backs Bard to generate ads, which apparently improves creativity](https://www.theregister.com/2023/04/21/google_bard_ai/) - [Google Brain, protein-folding DeepMind fold into one](https://www.theregister.com/2023/04/20/google_brain_deep_mind/) 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. ® **Get our** [Tech Resources](https://whitepapers.theregister.com/) Share [](https://www.reddit.com/submit?url=https://www.theregister.com/2023/04/21/aisis/%3futm_medium%3dshare%26utm_content%3darticle%26utm_source%3dreddit&title=Musicians%20threaten%20to%20make%20Oasis%20%27Live%20Forever%27%20with%20AI) [](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=https://www.theregister.com/2023/04/21/aisis/%3futm_medium%3dshare%26utm_content%3darticle%26utm_source%3dwhatsapp) #### Similar topics - [ AI ](/Tag/AI/) - [ Machine Learning ](/Tag/Machine%20Learning/) - [ Music ](/Tag/Music/) More like these × ### Similar topics - [ AI ](/Tag/AI/) - [ Machine Learning ](/Tag/Machine%20Learning/) - [ Music ](/Tag/Music/) ### Narrower topics - [ Deep Learning ](/Tag/Deep%20Learning/) - [ Google AI ](/Tag/Google%20AI/) - [ GPT-3 ](/Tag/GPT-3/) - [ Large Language Model ](/Tag/Large%20Language%20Model/) - [ MCubed ](/Tag/MCubed/) - [ NLP ](/Tag/NLP/) - [ Spotify ](/Tag/Spotify/) - [ Star Wars ](/Tag/Star%20Wars/) - [ Tensorflow ](/Tag/Tensorflow/) - [ Tensor Processing Unit ](/Tag/Tensor%20Processing%20Unit/) ### Broader topics - [ Self-driving Car ](/Tag/Self-driving%20Car/) #### Similar topics Share [](https://www.reddit.com/submit?url=https://www.theregister.com/2023/04/21/aisis/%3futm_medium%3dshare%26utm_content%3darticle%26utm_source%3dreddit&title=Musicians%20threaten%20to%20make%20Oasis%20%27Live%20Forever%27%20with%20AI) [](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=https://www.theregister.com/2023/04/21/aisis/%3futm_medium%3dshare%26utm_content%3darticle%26utm_source%3dwhatsapp) 16 COMMENTS #### Similar topics - [ AI ](/Tag/AI/) - [ Machine Learning ](/Tag/Machine%20Learning/) - [ Music ](/Tag/Music/) More like these × ### Similar topics - [ AI ](/Tag/AI/) - [ Machine Learning ](/Tag/Machine%20Learning/) - [ Music ](/Tag/Music/) ### Narrower topics - [ Deep Learning ](/Tag/Deep%20Learning/) - [ Google AI ](/Tag/Google%20AI/) - [ GPT-3 ](/Tag/GPT-3/) - [ Large Language Model ](/Tag/Large%20Language%20Model/) - [ MCubed ](/Tag/MCubed/) - [ NLP ](/Tag/NLP/) - [ Spotify ](/Tag/Spotify/) - [ Star Wars ](/Tag/Star%20Wars/) - [ Tensorflow ](/Tag/Tensorflow/) - [ Tensor Processing Unit ](/Tag/Tensor%20Processing%20Unit/) ### Broader topics - [ Self-driving Car ](/Tag/Self-driving%20Car/) #### TIP US OFF [Send us news](https://www.theregister.com/Profile/contact/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ### Other stories you might like #### Guy rejects top photo prize after revealing snap was actually made using AI Updated Boris Eldagsen tells *El Reg* why he did it AI + ML18 Apr 2023 | 50 #### EU lawmakers fear general purpose AI like ChatGPT has already outsmarted regulators Rules proposed in EU AI Act are not enough to control 'very powerful AI' AI + ML18 Apr 2023 | 20 #### Don't worry, folks, here comes Chuck Schumer with some ideas about regulating AI As Europe forms task force to steer probes into ChatGPT AI + ML13 Apr 2023 | 20 #### The age of acceleration engines Why CPU core counts may not be as important as you think Sponsored Feature [![](https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ad?co=1&iu=/6978/reg_offbeat/front&sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&tile=6&c=66ZEKo6f3qG@0NE1exGwNK6AAAAEs&t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D6%26raptor%3Dhawk%26pos%3Dbtm%26test%3D0)](https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/jump?co=1&iu=/6978/reg_offbeat/front&sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&tile=6&c=66ZEKo6f3qG@0NE1exGwNK6AAAAEs&t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D6%26raptor%3Dhawk%26pos%3Dbtm%26test%3D0) #### Corporate investment in AI down for first time in a decade Fewer newly funded startups too, according to report AI + ML5 Apr 2023 | 4 #### Meta has nothing to say about politicians making deepfaked ads In Brief Plus: Aussie mayor threatens to sue OpenAI; Minors face ChatGPT ban; President Biden on AI AI + ML11 Apr 2023 | 13 #### Turns out people don't like it when they suspect a machine's talking to them Also this just in, people not that into insincere messages AI + ML10 Apr 2023 | 63 #### AWS debuts generative AI stuff so smart you might give it your money twice Updated Bedrock offers APIs for multiple models, plus EC2 instances for home-grown LLMs AI + ML14 Apr 2023 | 2 #### Europe doesn't just pass laws on Big Tech algorithms, it sets up cop shops to police them The union doesn't fsck around Software20 Apr 2023 | 11 #### How DARPA wants to rethink the fundamentals of AI to include trust Comment Would you trust your life to the current generation of AIs?
