Just like what happened with AI imagegen and the artists complaining about their styles being stolen will happen with this. After a few months of toying with simply using other artists specific styles, people will start to use the tools to do original works instead, that are not pure clones.
In this case, what is interesting is not that someone can (and did) produce a "fake Drake" song but that you could synthesize a singing voice of your choice and use it to produce songs without finding a new singer or training your own voice in the desired direction. I'm sure someone will make a prompt-based AI voice where you can just say "nasal annoying out of tune male voice" or something and control it that way and you can keep tweaking until you get what you want.
End result is of course even more (perhaps debatable) high quality content but with less star-appeal. We already have that on Spotify etc, there are loads of "troll" companies having hundreds of virtual fake artists releasing albums and tracks already. This will turbo-boost that..
However just like with AI images, it also enables someone with less talent of drawing or singing to do creative works. That has to be pretty valuable as well.
- rchaud 4y agoHigh quality music is made by humans, not machines. The number of successful Drake ripoffs will be roughly the same as the number of successful Metallica ripoffs. One or two will flourish, the rest will be forgotten, if heard at all.

- l33tman 4y agoThis is not really true anymore in the streaming economy. On Spotify, you earn a LOT of money if your song ends up in any of the generic playlists that people listen to while going to the gym our out running or in a hotel reception etc. You definitely don't need to do hits to get on these lists and earn money. Sure, they won't be remembered, but they will be heard! This reflects a change in how people consume music I guess.
