Paul McCartney has clarified the process of creating a freshly announced AI song by The Beatles, saying that it features nothing “artificially or synthetically created”.Last week, McCartney revealed that artificial intelligence has allowed him to create a “final” Beatles song.The legendary singer-songwriter and bassist discussed the prospect during a new interview with Radio 4’s Today Programme, and revealed that AI technology allowed him to “extricate” John Lennon’s vocals from an old demo track — meaning that he could complete the song.Now, after fans debated about the specifics of the creation process, Macca took to Twitter to clarify.He wrote yesterday (June 22): “Been great to see such an exciting response to our forthcoming Beatles project.

No one is more excited than us to be sharing something with you later in the year.“We’ve seen some confusion and speculation about it.

Seems to be a lot of guess work out there. Can’t say too much at this stage but to be clear, nothing has been artificially or synthetically created.

It’s all real and we all play on it.“We cleaned up some existing recordings – a process which has gone on for years. We hope you love it as much as we do.
