Thanks, that’s a great overview of the currently available voice generation tools.
How long before one AI vocal generator uses an AI lawyer to sue another AI vocal generator for copyright?
There is a Who’s on First… joke in there somewhere
Add Terminator to Star Trek Original Series: A Taste of Armageddon.
This is where we’re going with Music AI. 
It was nice knowing all of you.

indeed - I see a renaissance of live music, people will get bored fast with artificial music, and will want to see real folks playing.
Unreliable universal knowledge at your fingertips!
AI’s tendency to make up facts makes it unreliable for mission critical tasks, IMO.
Though that aspect would seem to make it eminently qualified to be a politician! 
The technical term for this hallucinating, which makes me wonder what would happen if you gave an AI LSD?
While this is subjective, it seems to me like this tendency has been decreasing with each new generation of tools. Copilot, the latest from Microsoft, includes footnotes & references. So you can verify things, at least in theory. I’ve been playing around with it to answer questions here & it’s been quite accurate.
Fortunately nothing in my universe qualifies as mission critical
And an AI judge will take care of the case.

Actually, though “hallucination” is the most-used term, a number of AI practitioners argue that “confabulation” is a more accurate term (albeit still anthropomorphic). The motivation is that “hallucination” refers to experiencing sensory stimuli that do not correspond to reality. But an LLM does not have sensory access to the real world. “Confabulation” refers to filling in gaps in memory or knowledge via fabrication, which seems a much better fit to what is actually happening when the interpolation/extrapolation that an LLM is doing is erroneous.
For a more skeptical take on whether AI is a threat to human musicians, have a look at Adam Neely’s recent YouTube video: Why AI is Doomed to Fail the Musical Turing Test - YouTube. I think he doesn’t quite hit a home run with this one (he usually does, in my opinion!). But in the context of this thread it’s worth a view.

But you can make video clips easy now with AI, the next step for you will be very tempting if you are in a hurry… You don’t even need the artist to be present, you can make everything in silico very soon
Yes, and this problem with hallucination (or confabulation) will go away in the future. I have tested copilot on very advanced organic chemistry and its very very accurate, it’s scary
I see this as the only rescue for the humanity, that we don’t want AI, there will be a movement against it in many fields. Problem is that it is so much money in it, that force is enormous
It mimics intelligence, and do so very well, that is the danger. It can even mimic love, emotions, so good that we can’t tell the difference…
A very good program…
And if a 12-year old can press a few buttons and generate 10 songs as good as The Beatles “Here comes the sun”?
Besides composing and arranging, I also teach at music schools, like many of us perhaps. The only thing missing is for artificial intelligence to take over teaching as well. I don’t think that’s possible yet, but they said that about everything else too. It makes you wonder what’s the point of it all…
… and then you have this: voice transformer plugin.
Methinks the talentless and their tokens will soon be parted 
Seems like “if” is doing most of the heavy lifting here.
But I suppose if that was the case, I’d be super curious to hear what the more mature artists in their 20s & 30s were up to.
Creating art has always been a challenge to do things that no one else has done, to stand out from the crowd or to combine your own personality with your results and create a brand of yourself as an artist. Artificial intelligence doesn’t change that in the slightest, it just accelerates the already ongoing process of cheaply produced mainstream art that not many artists can feed on anyway. But artificial intelligence has no real emotions, it does not independently fine-tune details that make the result a special piece of art, it only generates quick pleasing of non-universal content that cannot be replaced. It is trained with the results of human creativity of the past and only skilfully creates variations/combinations of it without much effort.
But the music industry has already driven this forward even without AI in order to save production costs. Now the industry is getting the bill and will not recover from it, as ‘music on demand’ is now becoming real music on demand and listeners no longer need a Spotify account if they buy an AI subscription and have their own music created according to their mood, all for themselves privately and then share it with others, free of charge or for a fee. VR/AR technology will also make an additional contribution to being able to experience matching avatars.
But one thing was and remains true, as it always has been: people want to be fans of something big and not just of generated art. AI will therefore only push the run-of-the-mill artists out of the market and those who can inspire fans, regardless of the technology, will continue to be successful. They will be different, but successful, if they recognise the pulse of the times with their art before anyone else or create new trends that are authentic. Once the world has been flooded with millions of pieces of content, the majority will turn back to individual art and appreciate genuine artists. Perhaps standing in front of a real audience will even be more appreciated than being a real artist, because it simply feels better than being inundated with AI content from morning to night.
Always remember that AI tools also give real artists the opportunity to realise their own ideas more quickly and therefore more cheaply. Then artists can finally use a real job with income until they are successful so that they don’t have to wait on the edge of existence for success
