We can try to block, cancel and nix it all we want, AI versions of us are coming, and Elon Musk's on/off partner has adopted a far more Darwinian approach.Īs if reeling off the paraphrased quote: "It is not the most intellectual or strongest of the species that survives, but the one that is able best to adapt and adjust to the changing environment in which it finds itself" Grimes took to Twitter on April 30 to tell fans about her new AI-powered software, Elf.Tech, that generates her voice. But there is another way… Make like Grimes: adapt to your ever-changing environment (and charge 50%) The rub, I imagine, is that there is no copyright in ideas. Sites such as Voicify allow anyone to mimic artists' styles and sounds. Of course, the most worrisome aspect of all of this is the undermining of moral rights and intellectual property. It is very easy to see why artists might not be happy." A huge amount of effort and investment has gone into developing Drake and The Weeknd and building their value, and arguably what is happening here could be described plagiarism of their brands… This is potentially problematic to both the industry, and also to the artists. "The use of AI in the music industry is a double-edged sword, with tensions arising from its potential to undermine the value of human creativity juxtaposed with its potential to augment it" he said of the Spotify case, adding "AI is demonstrating its potential to undermine talent.

And I'm ashamed to say that for the duration of the tracks, I loved them. Within seconds, I have made two tracks: 'Drake' singing Joshua Kadison's Jessie and AI Juice WRLD's rendition of Adele's Never Mind. Voicify is an AI music generating platform whereby curators (or pilferers, depending on your angle) buy tokens to create tracks – MJ singing Prodigy or Paolo Nutini? Give it a go. For the princely sum of $8.99, I get 25 Voicify credits, which means 25 goes at selecting one of its 37 models (read: AI vocals) and pairing it with a YouTube URL of any song I like. If you want to switch it up, hit the DJ button at the bottom right of the screen.I had fun with this and I'm sorry (Image credit: Voicify)ĭon't knock it until you've tried it, right?
