Gallagher was voted the greatest frontman of all time by XFM listeners in 2010. He beat Queen’s Freddie Mercury easily by garnering twice as many votes.

In Reddit post, the makers of the AISIS song said, “We got bored of waiting for Oasis to reform, so we got an AI modelled Liam Gallagher (inspired by JekSpek’s youtube AI videos which are awesome btw) to step in and help out on some tunes we wrote during lockdown 2021 for a short lived, but much loved band called Breezer.”

Others have brought back musicians from the dead. Over the Bridge, a mental health awareness initiative geared towards the music community, released an album titled Lost Tapes of the 27 Club. It featured new AI-generated tracks from the “27 Club”—iconic artists like Amy Winehouse, Jim Morrison, and Kurt Cobain—who died at the age of 27.

Despite the seemingly pure intentions, these may be a reductionist view that serves only AI tinkerers and the audience. For the subjects—the celebrities and their families—it’s not so black-and-white.

For instance, the family of Michael Schumacher, who hasn’t been seen in public since his brain injury following a skiing accident in 2013, is planning to take legal action against a German magazine Die Aktuelle that ran an AI-generated interview with the Formula One legend. Tech marvel aside, it’s an intrusive act.
