"The project includes six posts: three audio monologues in the voices of historical figures, a fictional letter from Mark Twain, a short story, and a YouTube video. The words sound passably period, if historically wobbly, but the flaws are glaring."
"Dylan's romantic obsessions shaped Western music and earned him a Nobel Prize in Literature. Now, the 84-year-old has turned his attention to great minds of the past, lingering on ambitious oddballs, killers, and scoundrels."
"'Lectures from the Grave' - advertised with the tagline 'the dead speak!' - almost becomes an anti-manifesto: a wild warning for the AI age of what not to do."
Bob Dylan launched a Patreon account featuring 'Lectures from the Grave,' offering AI-generated content for $5 a month. The project includes audio monologues, fictional letters, and short stories, but Dylan does not claim authorship. The use of fake pen names and AI voices suggests a collaboration where technology plays a significant role. The content, while period-sounding, contains notable flaws, leading to concerns about authenticity and the implications of AI in creative work. The project serves as a cautionary example in the AI age.
