Artificial intelligence programs, once pretty clunky and easy to mock, are getting really, really good at their jobs lately… like, “straight-up just rewriting our concepts of reality and making us question our meat puppet mentalities in this ‘first world’ country of ours” good. It’s a terrifying prospect for most of us, but after over thirty years of industrial, dystopian goth noise rock, that’s exactly the kind of thing that sounds right up Nine Inch Nails’ alley.
Well, Trent Reznor, let’s see how much you like it when an AI program gets fed the sonic antithesis of your life’s work and approximates your own art, shall we? Behold: The Spice Girls’ “Wannabe” in the AI-style of a Nine Inch Nails song.
