Since the dawn of music, creatives have been pushing boundaries to create something unique and original. The same can be said of the world’s most successful DJ, David Guetta. His latest experiment, however, has taken the music world by surprise.
A few days ago, Guetta’s viral video showcased the use of AI technology to create a vocal that sounded exactly like Eminem. With millions of views, fans went wild with excitement. Guetta argued that “every new music style comes from a new technology” and that “nothing is going to replace taste”.
His statement resonated with many, who find solace in the idea of AI as a tool for creativity, rather than a replacement for human talent.
The results of Guetta’s experiment were widely discussed, but the lack of Eminem’s permission to use his likeness was particularly controversial. In response, Guetta clarified that he won’t be releasing it commercially.
AI-generated songs have been gaining momentum on platforms like TikTok. Meanwhile, “Jiggle Jiggle”, a rap created by Louis Theroux, has been going viral, showing the potential of AI to bring old songs back to life.
AI has been a major talking point in the music industry, with some questioning whether it will replace human creativity altogether. But, with the likes of Guetta at the helm, it seems likely that AI will be used to supplement musicians’ creativity to create new and exciting sounds.
With more and more artists hopping on board, the future of music is looking more promising than ever. AI is revolutionizing the music industry, and it’s up to us to make sure it’s used in the right way.
