https://techcrunch.com/2023/04/26/grimes-ai-generated-drake-music-legal-issues/ > Last week, a song using AI deepfakes of Drake and the Weeknd’s voices went viral, but neither major artist was involved in its creation. Meanwhile, Grimes has taken to Twitter to offer 50% royalties on any AI-generated song that uses her voice, then declared that she is interested in “killing copyright,” which would probably undermine her ability to collect royalties in the first place. We might be living in the weirdest timeline, but unless Grimes is working on any secret inter-dimensional transit projects (you never know), the music industry has to reckon with what to do next. > Musicians like Holly Herndon and YACHT have embraced AI as a tool to push the limits of their creativity. YACHT trained an AI on 14 years of their music, then synthesized the results into the album “Chain Tripping;” Herndon created Holly+, a website that freely allows anyone to create deepfake music using her own voice.
