Audio generation tools could be extremely costly … also to the music industry. Ripping music from the internet, airwaves, discs (yes, they’re still bought) is just a copy but with audio AI tools, thieves are creating new stuff that sounds like the musician/singer and that means billions in lost income and a real muck-up of their image. Early this year, popular musicians Drake and the Weeknd found a “version” of their song Heart on My Sleeve had been created, posted and downloaded by millions of fans around the globe. With zero talent but tools like FakeYou, Uberduck.AI and others, these sleazes can copy everything that makes a music artist unique to create, enjoy/sell “hits” from every genre, every country, every artist. McLennan emphasized that jumping from a single image to those that move 20+ times per minute isn’t easy and isn’t cheap. “The VFX folks are the experts in this area and are involved in the production of shows/movies. Ask them,” he said. Fortunately, these people have an excellent set of tested/proven tools from firms like Adobe and Avid to help make their work a little easier; and for that matter, smarter. YouTube, TikTok and other social media users have also begun to use new AI tools like InVideo, Synthesia, Veed.io and others to make their own passable video content.
