I was brought up on The NME and the rock press and love left-field bands and I've always felt Billie (and her brother) fit comfortably into that tradition despite (or partly because of) their terrific pop sheen.
Great talent at a very young age; this next decade will be hers.
It could be a buzzword but I think it'd be fair to assume that different covers of the same song are slightly out of sync at different points. So the algorithm (AI or not) would look for signature beats in the original and match them with beats in a close range in the other songs.
I would bet it's using NLP (AI) and looking for lyric matches based on the captions. You could likely make a cover with an incorrect beat but the same lyrics and the AI would match to it.
I bet not. I've been doing NLP for just a few months but my experience is that its fickle at best. Especially with a song that is so repetitive you'd be looking for (n) instance of (n) words.
Also, most of these videos arn't going to have human transcribed lyrics which would further increase the difficulty.
Why not just take all the data they have and throw it into a model to predict time.
These days "with the help of computers" doesn't have the same cachet. I did notice that the videos tend to follow instruments and styles. So it may be a bit more than just temporal synchronization.
I'm old enough to resent my younger zoomer siblings' taste in music, and have once been crushed to realize a song on the radio I was enjoying was a Billie Eilish song. Yes, I am a cranky millennial. We are old enough to be cranky now.
At first I didn't understand what this website was, but once I realized everything was synced up and thought about the technical work to make it all work... this is brilliant.
Eilish and her co-writer are very talented melody/hook writers. I had the same hopes for Lorde, who early work was brilliant, but whose star has faded somewhat.
BTW, this is not the world's first infinite YouTube video (like they have often been claiming). The first video like that was posted by Twenty One Pilots in June and has been running since then:

Yes. I think it was a genius move. I'm subscribed to their channel and it is always at the top of my subscription list as being live. Having the video constantly feeding in fan submissions was also smart.

While this looks cool, kinda like the UI from some 90ies SciFi movie come to live... what is it? As in, yeah, I can click around, but I don't see what it really does...
You navigate through lots of videos of fans performing Bad Guy - but the twist is they're sync'd up so you can move between them and the song continues without interruption but now it's a different person performing the song.
This happens if it fails to load JS/XHR/frames from any of these domains: billie.withyoutube.com / www.google.com / storage.googleapis.com / *.googlevideos.com / www.youtube.com
Check you're not blocking any, eg. in ublock's blocklist or /etc/hosts; or look for errors in the network debugger of your browser
Its a music video which plays, it apparently searches for covers, sync them up so you can switch from the original video to infinity other cover version of it i would say.
