There were a lot of developments recently regarding AI-Vocals. It has come to the point where it's starting to get hard to tell AI apart from the real Michael. And this is scary. I don't think many people realize what consequences this will have in the future.
Currently it's mostly used on songs that MJ actually had involvement in, like the Eaten Alive mix Beano did. And the people who are doing the stuff are also clearly labeling it as AI. And I don't think there's a problem with that because it's something that he actually recorded. But I do think it's not right to use Michael's voice on stuff he had absolutely no involvement in, such as fanmade songs and songs from other artists. I know it's not actually his voice. But once AI reaches the point where it can create a perfect replica of his voice, then the only difference is that Michael didn't actually sing it. It's just not right to just use his voice for everything we desire.
AI is getting better and easier to use, which will lead to the point where everyone can create an AI song in a few minutes. So there will be tons of new fake leaks in the future, and it will be impossible to know if they're real just by listening. This won't just be a problem with leaks. Can we trust the estate to not use AI to create new songs in the future? They sold us fake songs in the past. Even if the estate doesn't do it themselves, what if someone who worked with MJ makes AI songs and sells them to the estate?
Something has to be done right now. There has to be some kind of certification process where the people who worked with Michael on the songs confirm their authenticity. They need to create an archive of songs that are confirmed to be real so they can release these songs in the future. This has to be done before AI has become too powerful.
All of this is just my opinion on the whole thing. I'm not trying to hate on the people who currently use AI to create songs. I just think it's weird and unfair to Michael to use his voice for something on which he didn't actually work. What's your guys opinion on this? I just wanted to make people aware of the effects AI will have in the future.
