YouTuber Breeds Fake Nirvana Song With Artificial Intelligence

YouTuber Funk Turkey has made a new fake Nirvana song using A.I. programming. It's Turkey's latest endeavor following a flurry of other mock tracks mimicking the likes of AC/DC, Metallica and Nickelback, to name a few. The song is called "Smother," a three-minute concoction of Nirvana-esque tropes that attempts to mirror the legendary band's distinctive personality. Turkey notes in the video's description, "using lyrics.rip to scrape the Genius Lyrics Database, I made a Markov Chain write Nirvana lyrics." Generating lines like "I could eat your heart-shaped box for food" and "You never lost control," the lyrics reappropriate familiar keywords from some of Nirvana's biggest hits.
