Questions:
Did Joan Baez and Bob Dylan ever sing this as a duet at a concert? If not, could an AI-enabled audio editor create for this song, a duet of these two singing it?

ChatGPT Claims:

If you give me Dylan’s and Baez’s solo versions, I can:

Analyze both tracks to see their exact tempo, key, and structure.

Map out where verses and lines from each should be interwoven for the most natural duet flow.

Give you a step-by-step AI editing plan (including recommended tools and exact settings for time-stretching, pitch-matching, and blending).

Mark timestamps for where to cut, align, and crossfade so they sound like they’re in the same room.

You could then run those steps through an AI-enabled editor like iZotope RX, Ableton Live with Melodyne, or Audacity with Spleeter plugins, and you’d get a clean, believable Dylan–Baez duet.
