The future may indeed include robots gaining sentience and taking over humanity, but in the meantime, we’ll settle for some AI generated death metal. According to Engadget, CJ Carr and Zack Zukowski and their Dadabots AI band project uses a recurrent neural network to identify patterns in the music, predict the most common elements and reproduce them. They just launched a YouTube channel to share the results, a never-ending, AI-generated stream of precision death metal. While there is a definitely a blackened death feel and relentless robotic lack of feeling to the songs, it is still pretty damn badass! Check it out!

 

According to Motherboard, the original findings of the results of the AI inspired the progenitors of Dadbots to explore even more:

“While we set out to achieve a realistic recreation of the original data, we were delighted by the aesthetic merit of its imperfections,” they wrote. “Solo vocalists become a lush choir of ghostly voices, rock bands become crunchy cubist-jazz, and cross-breeds of multiple recordings become a surrealist chimera of sound.”
