David Guetta is bringing attention to artificial intelligence (AI) and its impressive ability to replicate the voices of pop artists. In a recent Twitter post, the French DJ and producer shared a video of himself playing a song during one of his sets that featured an AI-generated “voice” of Eminem.
Guetta introduced the concept as “Emin-AI-em” and hyped up the crowd while an unreleased track played with a replica of Eminem’s voice singing the lyrics, “This is the future rave sound / I’m getting awesome and underground.” The response from the audience was enthusiastic, and Guetta expressed his surprise at how well the technology worked.
He explained that he used AI to write lyrics in the style of Eminem about future rave and then utilized another AI website to recreate the rapper’s voice. The result was a song that amazed the listeners.
Guetta clarified in the video’s comments that he had no plans to commercially distribute the song, addressing a debate that arose among viewers. The topic of AI-generated content has gained popularity on platforms like TikTok, where fans have been using AI software to make existing songs sound as if they are being sung by different artists, including notable figures like Bad Bunny, Ariana Grande, and Billie Eilish.
Notably, a music generator site called Drayk.it gained attention for its ability to create AI-generated Drake songs. However, the platform was short-lived and no longer exists, likely due to legal concerns associated with using artists’ images without their consent. Some artists have already expressed their disapproval of this technology, leading to ongoing conversations and debates on the topic.
David Guetta’s showcase of AI-generated music highlights the rapid development of AI in the entertainment industry. As the technology continues to evolve, discussions surrounding its ethical and legal implications are sure to continue shaping the future of AI-generated content in the music industry and beyond.
