When people aren't stressing about AI wiping out entire creative industries and possibly enslaving humanity, they're using it for extremely silly and entertaining purposes, such as creating unlikely covers of classic songs.
Most recently, someone used it to create a James Hetfield (Metallica) cover of Seal's 1994 adult-contemporary essential, "Kiss from a Rose."
You may expect Seal's sultry standard delivered through his immaculately smooth vocals to be completely ruined by Hetfield's haggard, heavy style, but something in the juxtaposition actually kind of works. The only thing missing is some heavily distorted guitar riffs coming in at the chorus.
Check out the two versions below and see for yourself how it holds up.
