I've noticed the recent rise in AI-generated music stemming from a text prompt. The rise in the quality of generated music has been startling to say the least.<p>Another genre/category of music is the pop mashup [1]. It's a song that's created from snippets of existing songs blended into a single, cohesive track. Sort of a like a super-condensed 3-minute DJ mix that comprised of up to dozens of song snippets.<p>Initial thoughts on feasibility include AI not being able to reproduce pop songs verbatim due to copyright. To create a mashup in the style that we know today, it has to be the original song, and not say "a song in the likeness of Madonna".<p>What other hurdles would need to be overcome to make the generative-AI mashup a reality?<p>[1] Madeon - Pop Culture: https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=lTx3G6h2xyA
