By now we've all witnessed the hype around The Beatles' latest (and unfortunately, last) track, which used AI to resuscitate an old demo written and performed by John Lennon.

The wholesome yet uncanny result is a great display of the advancements in technology, but I can't help but feel like we're getting into troubling territory.
