Researchers from American tech giant Google have created an AI that can generate minutes-long musical pieces from text prompts, and can even transform a whistled or hummed melody into other instruments.

This shift is attributed to "a recent court judgement," which you can read everything about here. When the patent ruling was announced, Google told that the ITC had certified non-infringing designs. However, Sonos cautioned that in order to comply, Google could have to "degrade or delete product functionality," which appears to be the case. Given that Google has 60 days to bring its devices into conformity, we didn't expect it to happen this quickly.
