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.
