Shaan
Bollywood singer Shaan recently spoke against the recent trend in which artificial intelligence generates songs as if a different singer performed them. He slammed the technique which is often referred to as AI Voice Cloning. In AI cloning, users can use AI tools to create remixes and covers of existing songs, placing different artists' voices onto familiar tracks and changing the original song with new rhythms, melodies, and harmonies.
While speaking to ANI, Shaan blasted the AI song voice swap trend in which the late singers are reimaged using AI tools for creating new songs, calling it a "cruel" and a wrong practice of remembering the late singers.
He said, "I find this AI very cruel when they try to produce songs like 'Yeh gaana agar Kishore da gaate, yeh gaana agar Mohammed Rafi gaate (If this song was sung by. What they sang in the 40s, what they sang in the 60s, and what they sang in the 80s were very different. So if they were singing today, it would again be very different."
