How new is this? About a month ago I tried to get Claude (forget which model but probably Opus 5) to transcribe a low-res hand-written lyric sheet from a relatively obscure punk band and it refused.

Of course, since then I had the idea of having it build for me an automatic solution for charting out songs in Clone Hero, a Rock Band clone. It had no problem ripping the audio from YouTube, using Whisper to generate and match the timing of the vocals, etc. Responsible AI at work.
