Aside from ChatGPT, other tools for artificial intelligence that have gained prominence recently concentrate on elements like images and music. The renowned engineer Young Guru recently voiced his worries over a fake Kendrick Lamar song that was discovered online and was created by an AI voice tech.
Additionally, with the development of AI that focuses on images like Dall-E, Vall-E, a popular technology that mimics the voice of celebrities, has also begun to gain popularity. As of the time of publication, a fake Kendrick Lamar single demonstrates the tool’s voice-mimicry abilities.
Furthermore, using a voice filter, the renowned engineer Young Guru demonstrated how to make a Kendrick Lamar song from scratch in an Instagram video. The video demonstrated how the voice could be made to sound “exactly like K. Dot” by adjusting a few toggles on the filter. In addition, HipHop DX reports that Young Guru discussed the potential drawbacks of AI voice tech. His caption asked people to safeguard themselves from utilizing this particular technology by taking action and passing regulations.
Young Guru explained that while he was at MIT, students began to show him projects in which they began feeding a computer every jazz album. He has been following the development of AI for a few years. He continued to discuss how the AI could evaluate and compose music in several distinct musician genres at the time in an Instagram post. Also, he stated in the subtitles of the video that he didn’t believe AI technology could advance at such a rapid rate.
What’s more
The issue of people being unable to copyright their own voices was then raised by Guru. As a result, there is a gap where speech-altering technologies can be used and anyone can produce anything in anyone else’s voice. He also asserted that the legal considerations are restricted to speech or song copyrighting. But, voice is not protected by law and cannot be protected by copyright.
Moreover, Young Guru explained that because voices are not legally protected, anyone may produce a fake song or album using the voice of whoever they like. He continued by saying that Deep Fake and other AI technologies were equally unprotected.
On another note, in his “Heart Part 5” music video, Kendrick Lamar himself used Deep Fake technology. The technology witnessed Kanye West, O.J. Simpson, and even the late Nipsey Hussle turning into his face. Additionally, in 2022, the ascension of FN Meka, a fictional rapper who never existed, was one of the obvious applications of AI technology. FN Meka was totally created by artificial intelligence, including voice, lyrics, and images.
