The Wurzels embrace ‘Cutting Hedge’ technology
with the assistance of their type of AI – AGRICULTURAL INTELLIGENCE.
As one of the oldest bands in the land The Wurzels have decided to embrace the latest technology and so have engaged with AI, (known down in deepest Somerset as Agricultural Intelligence) to help in writing their newest release, Wurzel Me Up!
Now in their mid 80’s, the boys realised they occasionally need a bit of help with a lot of things these days…
Pete Budd: “We realized that it was long time since we had written a new pop tune so we thought we’d have a dabble with some of this new fangled ‘Cutting Hedge Technology!’
We decided to explore this new artificial world so we let it analyse our catalogue of Wurzel songs and give us some lyrical inspiration for a new release.”
With so much conversation in the media about the various issues with using AI to create entertainment content, there are real concerns over plagiarism of artists’ and writers’ copyrights.
“Stars like them young’uns Elton and Macca are right to be concerned, we don’t agree with plagiarism in any form without some form of remuneration and credit and so in this case we have strived to only plagiarise ourselves!” added Tommy Banner.
“Also, within seconds it came up with some great alternatives so we decided to turn the whole thing on its head and start again with AI being the subject!”
The band’s new single and video illustrates the tools these amazing advancements in AI have given us.
AI?……………Ooh Arr!
