An ice dance duo skated to AI music at the Olympics | TechCrunch

"The Olympic ice dance competition is split into two events: the rhythm dance, where pairs must perform a routine that meets a specific theme, and the free dance. This season's theme is "The Music, Dance Styles, and Feeling of the 1990s." British ice dancing duo Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson paid tribute to the Spice Girls, while United States favorites Madison Chock and Evan Bates skated to a Lenny Kravitz medley."

"As Mrázek spun his sister in a crazy cartwheel lift sort of move that made them look superhuman, one of the NBC commentators mentioned in passing, "This is AI generated, this first part," referring to the music. Somehow, that admission is even more baffling than the gravity-defying tricks that the siblings showed off on the pressure of Olympic ice."

Czech ice dancers Kateřina Mrázková and Daniel Mrázek made their Olympic debut as a sibling duo. The pair used AI-generated music in their rhythm dance program while also incorporating AC/DC's "Thunderstruck." An NBC commentator identified part of the music as AI-generated during the performance. The rhythm dance theme for the season centers on the Music, Dance Styles, and Feeling of the 1990s. Other teams skated to 1990s tributes such as the Spice Girls and a Lenny Kravitz medley. The International Skating Union listed the duo's rhythm dance music as "One Two by AI (of 90s style Bon Jovi)" and "Thunderstruck by AC/DC." The duo previously faced backlash for AI music use.
