I'm thinking given the success of the Love mash ups and that new Sour Milk Sea fan creation recently posted could Giles potentially construct an album from leftovers and solo stuff? Is there enough, and what could be used?
Examples, only partly formed:
Oh My Love: John and George isolated, fly in Ringo's drums from Mother suitably speed adjusted and add a few fills.
All Things Must Pass : George and Ringo demo mashed with Get Back rehearsals
Madman: Get Back rehearsal mashed with Mean Mr Mustard 's guitars and bass licks
Just a few examples. Not looking for an ethical argument here, rather suggestions of what would be technically possible in another world given AI separation, because I can see it coming in 10 years.

Subsequent to this I used Grok for the first time ever, asking:
"Would it be possible to construct a new Beatles album from solo Beatles stems"?
It offered a complete 12 track album showing what it considered could be combined. I wouldn't agree with every choice, but was surprised when it showed sample start and finish points, necessary bpm and sometimes pitch adjustments to get in the right key as well as considering things that approximated stylistically.

It's certainly possible but currently there is no want for a full album, especially by Paul and Ringo but also by the majority of fans. I doubt Giles is that interested either.
Too small a number of fans will be interested in hearing a remix of 'SMS' and the same goes for yet another 'new' Beatles' single, especially in relation to how many Apple would need to sell to make it a viable product. We had the reunion in the 90's and it sold incredibly well, 'NAT' sold alright and it hit #1 but that was on the back of it being the last Beatles song and Paul tying up a long held loose end in regards to completing a John song. What would be the marketing angle for hearing another created song?
Having said all that, I do think further down the line we will get more recently adapted Beatles material but it will be used to sell, promote and feature in some event like with the Abba shows in London (a new Elvis immersive show is coming soon). 'Love' in Vegas ends soon, there will eventually be a new feature to replace that.

I can see two scenarios:
Paul and Ringo, having seen the success of Now And Then reconsider putting some touches to material already featuring John and George. Paul appears very sentimental about it all.
They unfortunately won't be around forever and others will be in control. Think of the glut of previously unreleased stuff from many artists when they've passed - Prince, Marc Bolan, Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding... the list is endless. The clamour for more from the greatest band of all time is insatiable. It's many fan's dream to imagine what if they hadn't split up. AI separation technology brings that possibility closer.
