Now with the evolution of technology, we've came to a point where it's got beyond scary. It's gotten to the point where it's literally beyond scary because anybody can mimic anybody's voice and everybody's voice to say whatever they want them to say. So at this point, they're using it in the music realm and having all these quote-unquote AI covers. I mean, look up AI covers and you would just see a plethora of songs and, and collapse. just out of the blue collabs you would never think to see. I mean, I literally saw AI cover with Juice World covering Die for you. And I was like, wow, like a Juice World singing like the weekend is kind of fire.

But anyways, so we're talking about, well, the particular topic at hand is Mr. West and his AI covers is going crazy over the internet right now. So you have the ability to mimic any artist in the music field. and most, if not everybody, is choosing Kanye West to cover all these popular songs. Now, I think that's an interesting point as the general consensus seems to be that Kanye West is the artist that most people would prefer cover most popular tracks by these AI covers coming out. Because if you have the ability to cover or just to mimic any artist's voice and everybody's using Kanye West, I think that's a telltale sign that this man is maybe one of the greatest artists of our artists. generation because for me personally I would have I would have Drake cover all the weekend songs I would have the weekend cover all of Drake songs and then maybe a little bit of in between of

them collabing and I'm surprised I'm pretty sure it's going to come but right now I think the technology is a little bit limited and I say limited you know being able to mimic anybody's voice to say whatever you want and even copy the vocal inflection that's the biggest thing it's not like they're taking these words like you've seen in the past with these AI generated audios where it's like if you say the and then you go on to make a sentence and then if you say like top and you go on to make a sentence and then if you say like the G and go on to make a sentence somebody could say oh you're talking about the top G but it's really just you breaking up those words to make whatever sentence you want but now AI has evolved to where the vocal inflection is as

if you're actually speaking it like if you're actually like instead of the top g it's like the top g if that makes sense so let me let me do it again just in case so basically the generic version of the ai which usually be like the top g and i compete all the vocal inflection would be all the way off but now it's like authentic in a way that i don't understand at all how they're able to mimic it but now they're able to make you say the top G in a genuine in an organic fashion so it's much it's more seamless nowadays when you're listening to these AI covers and not as janky as it used to be and this is just the beginning of the chatbot was the GPT4 I forget what's called but basically basically it's a whole a whole lot of open source AIs right now and I think a lot of companies literally have departments where

they judge the integrity of the AI because, you know, AI can get to the point which is feeding you false information and then you could use that false information to end up maybe passing away. So that's why those defense departments are put in place. But nowadays, yeah, they're putting out this AI technology like it's just running out of style. Like it's just not going to be here for the next year or two. And in that aspect, I feel like it's very scary. as there's going to be so many different lawsuits with major labels and YouTubers acting like a certain artist but making those artists voice say stuff in their own words Like there was this YouTube video that had Eminem talking about him making a cat or liking it was like Eminem I like cats or something like that

It was like a track about Eminem and cats and Universal Music Group which is the major label that Eminem is under just completely took that video down all he was doing was using Eminem's voice and he had Eminem in the title but it wasn't actually Eminem's song it was originally made beat it was original lyrics it was just Eminem's voice and title over the um yeah over the title so it's not like illegal I would say I don't think a major label owns your voice it just owns basically your likeness like if you you can't you can't have Eminem Plaster all over your Eminem AI covers, but you could have like a random song, I forget what it's called.

You can have a cover for your song just about whatever the topic is at hand and just not use Eminem in the thumbnail. I think you'll be all right. But I guess not as these major labels are completely pushing the line of what's legal and illegal because now I feel like they're illegally taking down some of these YouTube creators work based on the fact that it sounds

like another artist and it's not illegal to sound like another artist. It's only illegal if you literally use their likeness to sell products or if you, it was another thing, or if you used a beat. So if it was like an Eminem beat and then you took that and made your own Eminem lyrics, it's still copyrighted because you don't own that beat. But if you originally make your beat and then you originally make the lyrics and it just sounds like, Eminem, that's not a crime. So, well, not a crime. It's not illegal. So for UMG to go out and take that video down, which I'm pretty sure if you look it up, it was like a big thing because everybody was like with this evolution of AI, where are we going to go with copyright infringement? And now I think we're starting

to see that these major labels don't care if you even make the own beat yourself and you make the own lyrics. Like if you're using Eminem and a title and it sounds like Eminem, they're taking it down, which I think is a little bit illegal it's like in itself um so it's a very interesting conversation because the evolution of AI is um just starting as far as the mimicking of voices to say whatever you want and a vocal inflection type of um in an organic vocal vocal inflection instead of just having janky words splash together it's like literally sounding like you're just talking like i am right now so it's a scary thought to see where this could go because like we've already had an AI rapper,

which was saying the N-word a bunch of times and then come to find out the creator of that was white. And so that got a lot of backlash. I forget what the name was, but yeah, he got dismembered pretty fast. And guess what? A major label was behind that. So I think they was already ahead of his time,

but now we're seeing the likes of Kanye West being mimicked, Juice World, of course. And I saw a funny video. Hold on. Let me see if I can find it because this was hilarious. Let me see if I can find this, because this is probably the most accurate description I could probably find about AI

and the ramifications of it, because I don't think a lot of people understand that you can literally do anything when you can copy somebody's voice. And that's a scary thought. Like, think about stuff that you could do with a politician's voice, and that's all I'm going to leave it at.

So anyways, let me bring this up. Okay, yeah. So this is DJ academics. And he's talking about the ramifications of AI. I know the ramifications of this already. Don't let a nigga Empire get a hold of this shit. They're gonna be making songs with dead niggins like it's going out of style.

Yo, King Vaugh got a new new dis to young boy. You listen to the, you listen. Oh, where are they recording before he died? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You listen to the song? all of a sudden, all of a sudden, you hear King Vaughn say, and fuck you, I'll slide to Utah. You're like, Utah.

So basically, that's kind of what I'm seeing, because if you don't know, Empire, unfortunately, has a lot of artists under his major label that's passed away. And some people like to make conspiracy theories out of it. And I don't fault them for it, because at this point, seeing the sales of Juice World and Pop Smoke still outselling some of your favorite artists who are actually alive is, I'm not going to say disturbing,

because, you know, those were legendary and iconic artists, but still a reason to be concerned about the, what's the moral high ground of AI technology. Like, if you were to literally have an artist pass away and make a whole new album, simply because you can mimic his voice. And if the major label supports that and puts it out, then I think it comes to a place where it's morally inethical. I think that's how you said. Because if an artist has passed away

and doesn't have any unreleased music, I think that's where the morality is in question. But it is, or the moral, I think I said it right. But as far as him having a bunch of unreleased music, of course, like we've seen with the case in juice world, I mean, I think that's fair play. But if the AI technology was to be used

to literally create a whole album from a passed away artist, then I think that could create some moral issues because then what are you really saying to his fan base? Are you saying that you care about increasing his legacy or are you trying to make money off an artist has already passed away? So I think we can get to a point where this AI technology will have to be limited to a certain degree. And it's going to be a whole new contracts being made with artists nowadays.

with this AI implemented into it. Like, literally, if Drake was to mimic his voice and put out a whole album by himself, you don't think that he would do that just under the name of somebody else to generate all the proceeds for himself? So that's why I think it's getting into a scary legal situation with this whole evolution of technology.

And that's just a bare minimum. Like, when I'm not even talking about the real, ramifications like I kind of hinted to when talking about using politicians' voices. But sticking to more of the lighthearted use of it with mimicking music or musicians, it's very interesting to come for a circle that everybody is using this technology to have Kanye West cover all the popular tracks. It's almost like the general consensus is that Kanye West is maybe one of the greatest artist ever live.

So anyways, click my link to you in my bio and let me know in one of my my social medias what do you think about Kanye West and just his AI covers in general and also what do you think is the most popular Kanye West AI cover and I might actually make that the title of this segment
