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.

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.

Eilish and her co-writer are very talented melody/hook writers. I had the same hopes for Lorde, who early work was brilliant, but whose star has faded somewhat.

Bah, I've been cranky since before you were born, you have a lot of catching up to do !

Earlier quoted context omitted.

“...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?

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 mostly got videos with the original song or overlaid at least. I am curious how well it could snyc actual 'covers'.

BTW, this is not the world's first infinite YouTube video (like they have often been claiming). The first video like that was posted by Twenty One Pilots in June and has been running since then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KrAAxT8ZLY

Yes. I think it was a genius move. I'm subscribed to their channel and it is always at the top of my subscription list as being live. Having the video constantly feeding in fan submissions was also smart.
