So, to celebrate the billion views milestone of Bad Guy, as well as its title as one of the most covered songs on YouTube, the video-sharing giant and Google Creative Lab built “Infinite Bad Guy,” an infinite music video.

Mathematically speaking, those combinations of videos means 1.46 x 10^100 years of videos. So basically, no one would see the exact sequence twice, from now until the end of the universe.
To create this endless music video experience, Google Creative Lab had to align the audio from the thousands of song covers with different instruments, styles, and keys perfectly. Conventional algorithms could not do this job alone. For this reason, Google Creative Lab chose to utilize machine learning. For videos that differ from the original song, such as Cappella and acoustic versions, the creators built a neural network to predict matches between covers and the original track. Using this data, Google Creative Lab was able to line up all kinds of different song covers and switch seamlessly between each of them.
Additionally, the creators used the Google Knowledge Graph to navigate through all of these covers and find patterns. It helped them identify the various musical styles, props, instruments, and other things that make up the critical moments of each video. This lets fans explore covers that look or sound alike or sample a little bit of everything.
With all of these elements, they were able to bring Infinite Bad Guy to life.
