Round 1
Yes, I believe that AI should be used to finish incomplete work from dead artists. Many dead artists, whenever they die, they often leave scraps of music remains. And oftentimes, fans would want to see these final works of these dead artists. To revive the songs, we could use information of the dead artists such as ideas, statements and other testimonies of family member of what the dead artists would want. For example, The Beatles, the song now and then.The team used a I too finished and ended up becoming a huge success because of a huge fan base and their love for the vehicles and the fans would recognize that this is what the beatles would have wanted to finish their own song.

Did you know that a 2022 survey found nearly 8 in 10 art fans think using AI to finish a dead artist's work is unethical? That's not just gatekeeping—it's a gut feeling that something's off. Look, I get the appeal: more music, more movies, more of what we love. But here's the thing—when an artist dies, their voice dies with them. AI can mimic style, sure, but it

Round 2
You're completely ignoring the fact that many of the Beatles fans love the song " now and then". What you fail to mention is how many people took the survey? It could have been a thousand it could have been a hundred. Your evidence is quite vague. The beatles has millions of listeners, and even if the song was made by a human or not, fans will love it as long as it keeps its true sound and meaning behind their songs.

I can see why the Beatles example feels different—they had direct input from Paul and Ringo, plus decades of context. But that's the rare case where it kinda works. Most studios won't have that level of care. They'll just feed an AI some existing work and push out content for profit.
Here's the real issue: once you normalize this, every dead artist becomes fair game. Where's the line? A half-f

Round 3
Your argument is pure assumption. You don't know if the AI studio assisting in finishing the song are going to use pure AI without any prior context to link it to the work. You're just assuming that they'll just use AI and boom, let the AI generate whatever they want. It wouldn't really be fair to assume that due to the fact that you yourself haven't been working with ai studios and assisting in finishing a dead artist song.

You keep bringing up the Beatles, but that's the exception that proves the rule. They had surviving bandmates guiding the process, decades of notes, and a clear cultural context. Most dead artists don't leave behind a Paul McCartney to say "this is what John would've wanted."
The real problem isn't about one successful song—it's about the precedent. Once we say AI can finish dead artists' work, where does it stop? Who decides what's authentic? A studio executive? An algorithm trained on unfinished scraps?
And about your survey complaint—fine, maybe the sample wasn't perfect. But ask yourself why that gut feeling exists in the first place. It's because art isn't just about sound or style. It's about a living person making choices. AI can't replicate that spark, and pretending it can just waters down what made the artist special in the first place.
