YouTube's AI Tool for Creators to Use Famous Artists' Voices: A Potential Game-Changer

YouTube is reportedly in talks with record labels to develop an AI tool that would allow creators on the platform to use the voices of famous artists. This could have a major impact on the music industry and on the way that content is created on YouTube.

If the tool is developed, it will allow creators to create new songs, videos, and other content using the voices of their favorite artists. This could open up new creative possibilities and make it easier for creators to produce high-quality content.

However, there are also some potential concerns about the use of AI to create music. One concern is that it could lead to copyright infringement. If creators are able to use the voices of famous artists without their permission, it could violate the artists' intellectual property rights.

Another concern is that it could be used to create deepfakes, which are videos or audio recordings that have been manipulated to make it appear as if someone is saying or doing something that they never actually said or did. Deepfakes can be used for malicious purposes, such as spreading misinformation or damaging someone's reputation.

Here are some additional thoughts on the potential impact of this new tool:

It could democratize music creation. By making it easier for anyone to create music with the voices of famous artists, the tool could open up new opportunities for aspiring musicians and creators.

It could lead to new and innovative forms of music. The tool could be used to create new genres of music that would not be possible without AI. For example, creators could combine the voices of different artists to create unique and unexpected soundscapes.

It could change the way that music is consumed. The tool could make it easier for people to create their own personalized music experiences. For example, people could use the tool to create custom playlists of their favorite songs with their favorite artists singing them.

Overall, the development of this new tool is a significant event that can potentially change the music industry and how content is created on YouTube. It is important to monitor the development of the tool and to ensure that it is used in a responsible and ethical way.

Power Metal reddit currently has a discussion about Nuclear Blast, about what has changed with them and why, and man I have learned a lot of disturbing facts about what has happened there in the past 5 years. Someone posted an in-depth investigative article about it (from November 2021), which you should read if you speak German and are interested, otherwise or if it's too long here are the main points...

If you're into Nightwish, Sabaton, Blind Guardian etc., this is relevant information.

In 2018, the French Believe Music, which is a large corporation that mainly specializes in digital distribution, became majority owner of NB

Believe is not really interested in physical media like CDs and vinyls even though the people who worked at NB told their new corporate overlords that metal fans like physical media, both because many fans of especially the oldest and most successful bands are 50+ and because it's more ingrained in the subculture. Believe doesn't care and doesn't listen. They have their experiences from pop and hip-hop, where phone-based streaming subscriptions are the norm, and that's all they want to know. They are also ignoring printed magazines and don't advertise there much anymore.

Less focus on physical media means that bands now earn less, that they rank less highly in album charts, which in turn means that they lose negotiation power when they try to plan tours and negotiate with venues etc., because they "look" less successful

Believe has been dealing with this by signing mainly bands that are easy to market digitally and ending co-operations with bands that aren't, even ones that had been with NB for decades (like Rage and Nile, who went to Napalm)

The personal cooperation between bands and NB has really suffered, everything is more profit-oriented and impersonal, a lot of budgets have been decreased and the real decisions are made by Believe in Paris, not by any specific NB team

Believe has been stock market traded since 2021. Their stock value went down at first, was at about the price it had started out at when the article was written - I looked it up and in March 23 it's down 40% from its original value. Ouch.

The original founder of NB started a new label, Atomic Fire, and took "Amorphis, Helloween, Opeth, Sonata Arctica, Meshuggah, Primal Fear, Agnostic Front, Rise Of The Northstar, Silver Lake, White Stones and Michael Schenker Group" with him, also because Believe didn't really do much to keep many of these bands

It's certainly interesting to learn about, also because I had already wondered if NB, and some of their bands, had intentionally taken a more "commercial" approach in recent years, but I didn't know about the Believe thing. I thought it maybe had something to do with losses from the pandemic or something. Turns out they have a new owner.

"Lestat would get woken up by the macarena" "No he'd get waken up by dubstep" "No he'd get waken up by Call Me Maybe" You fool's. You absolute fools. Lestat is buried/out in the dump of New Orleans, a city that's 60 percent black. He's getting woken up by Back That Azz Up by Juvenile

Daniel Bedingfield, Will.i.am, and Sachin Dev Duggal lead the revolution in AI in music

"I spent the last few days creating a new drum and bass album using AI, which is better than any D&B I've created in 20 years," Bedingfield said. "I wrote my voice on some songs and put it into the AI; it used my soul to do other things because it was based on the DNA of my song."

The "Gotta Get Through This" hitmaker believes AI will be "brutal" for many musicians as it disrupts the traditional music-making process. However, he argues that ultimately it democratizes music by placing "unlimited and unlimited creativity" in the hands of new artists and those who appear. Bedingfield compared the AI's power to that of famous artists such as Stevie Wonder and Prince, who are known for being able to play instruments, create, and complete songs entirely by themselves. "But now AI is putting this limitless creativity in the hands of many young people and filmmakers," he said.

Pop star Will.i.am, winner of seven Grammy Awards and a Latin Grammy Award, joined forces with Sachin Dev Duggal to prepare for the introduction of AI in music at an important conference on music and technology in Davos.

As the power of AI continues to advance, the idea of Natasha Bedingfield suggests a future in which human artists will become more powerful with AI to create music that transcends traditional genres and expectations. This collaborative process, as envisioned by Bedingfield and supported by Sachin Dev Duggal, can democratize music production, making it more inclusive than ever. While the debate continues as to whether AI can truly capture the "soul" of artists, Bedingfield remains steadfast in his belief that technology should be embraced as a creative tool. a strength that enhances rather than diminishes human expression and innovation.
