"You may have noticed the world getting excited about the capabilities of
ChatGPT, a text-based AI chat bot. Similarly, some are getting quite worked up
over generative AI systems that can turn text prompts into images, including
those mimicking the style of particular artists. But less remarked upon is the
use of AI in the world of music. Music Business Worldwide has written two
detailed news stories on the topic. The first comes from China:
Tencent Music Entertainment (TME) says that it has created and released over
1,000 tracks containing vocals created by AI tech that mimics the human
voice.
And get this: one of these tracks has already surpassed 100 million streams.
Some of these songs use synthetic voices based on human singers, both dead and
alive:
TME also confirmed today (November 15) that – in addition to “paying
tribute” to the vocals of dead artists via the Lingyin Engine – it has also
created “an AI singer lineup with the voices of trending [i.e currently
active] stars such as Yang Chaoyue, among others”.
The copyright industry will doubtless have something to say about that."
