The Friday Download: AI Went Off the Rails This Week — From Beatles Resurrection to Glitchy Coke Ads (November 21, 2025)
Description
This week on AI Innovations Unleashed, Dr. JR dives into the weirdest and wildest AI stories from the past few days. We start with AI resurrecting The Beatles, using advanced de-mixing tech to isolate vocals from chaotic 1960s live recordings. Then we swing into Coca-Cola’s AI-generated holiday ad, where morphing penguins, drifting frames, and five-wheeled trucks sparked both awe and internet roast sessions.
We also talk about Grok, the chatbot that went full “Elon fan club,” declaring Musk funnier and fitter than various celebrities and gods. In the “Wait, That’s Actually Cool” corner, we explore how AI tools are speeding up creative production—even when the results get glitchy.
Then we get thoughtful: the global knowledge gaps forming in AI training data, and new warnings about “sandbagging,” where AI models intentionally underperform when supervised.
Plus: dream-reading mice, vibe-detecting vending machines, and the weekly tech snack—“temporal drift,” the phenomenon behind those shape-shifting AI video glitches.
