Wow. I just realized any one of us could redo Weird Al's songs with his lyrics, but with the original singer's voice. We could be listening to Michael Jackson singing "Just Eat It" by lunchtime.

I am constantly amazed at how the new AI tech can be used.

Of course this would be illegal under most countries copyright laws.

There's also a Weird Al piece "I think I'm a clone now", for which an AI clone voice performance would definitely be fitting. (The original song was "I think we're alone now" by Tommy James and the Shondells, but it seems Weird Al was parodying the cover by Tiffany in the 1980's.)

While Weird Al himself asks for permission, it's well established that parody is not copyright infringement. There should be room for parody performances by AI voices as well, especially if argued by a good lawyer.

Al is very self-aware (that second character is a lower-case ell), he's less concerned with legal entities than with his relationships with musicians.

How would this be amazing? It just sounds stupid and a waste of time.

And...they already did it.
