This is brilliant, more info at places like this: https://www.nme.com/news/music/billie-eilish-launches-infini... I was brought up on The NME and the rock press and love left-field bands and I've always felt Billie (and her brother) fit comfortably into that tradition despite (or partly because of) their terrific pop sheen. Great talent at a very young age; this next decade will be hers.

“...which begins with the singer’s original video for the song and, with the help of AI, has synced up thousands of covers...” Isn’t this just a timestamp sync for certain search parameters? What has artificial intelligence got to do with this?

I'm old enough to resent my younger zoomer siblings' taste in music, and have once been crushed to realize a song on the radio I was enjoying was a Billie Eilish song. Yes, I am a cranky millennial. We are old enough to be cranky now. At first I didn't understand what this website was, but once I realized everything was synced up and thought about the technical work to make it all work... this is brilliant.

In an alternate youniverse, you delighted in the invitation to shed a prejudice and emerge a little shiny from your old skin.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It could be a buzzword but I think it'd be fair to assume that different covers of the same song are slightly out of sync at different points. So the algorithm (AI or not) would look for signature beats in the original and match them with beats in a close range in the other songs.

I would bet it's using NLP (AI) and looking for lyric matches based on the captions. You could likely make a cover with an incorrect beat but the same lyrics and the AI would match to it.
