Total nonsense.

Using valid words in one language doesn’t mean that they directly translate. Only the author knows the intended meaning—no one else would, without some sort of table that maps the nonsense expressions to the proper loanwords.

No one but the author would be able to decipher the true meaning of this essay, making it useless as a form of communication.

> You can't sue someone for mimicking someone else's voice well enough to be confused for the mimicked creator's voice.

You can sue someone for Financial/ID theft and impersonation though. Many shady artists were (and still are) using celebrity names in their track titles to get attention for their music releases prior to this. The problem is services like Spotify and YouTube (content search) primarily working based on keywords, and also in those same types of music services only being geared towards major industry artists rather than giving everyone an even playing field to have their music heard... It encourages scam and spam environments, as well as impersonation by artists accounts for the tiny profit they pay.

By posting music with the "emulated" voice in it (which is actually tiny samples of the artist's actual voice), the Ai tools allow and encourage people to create songs and title them as if they were made by the actual artist. In the emulator, they list the authentic artist's name as an option, which technically highlights that they are complicit in facilitating production of music that impersonates the named artist.

Imagine if you're an emerging artist and beginning to gain traction in your career, then all of a sudden, because of an Ai web site, hundreds of people start flooding streaming services with low quality, parody, and even good music using your name, while also collecting royalties off of it... That can ruin a musician's brand and cause damage to the artist's reputation that they can't recover from. There are legal protections against that, even without copyrights, but it can often involve a lengthy court battle.

I'm a musician myself, I am not a lawyer, I do my best to stay out of court.

It's better for everyone if everyone simply puts out their own original music, or properly credited samples and/or remixes with artist consent and permission.

I wonder if indicating likeness would be legally safe, i.e., “Song name - Artist [Drake-like/Drake-style]”

This seems like something there should be some AI safety ground rules for.

The number one rule for firearm safety is: always point the muzzle in a safe direction. Even if you know the gun is unloaded, you always obey this rule.

Deliberately spinning up a GPT with the intent to destroy humanity seems like it would fall under a similar category, but I'd go a step further and say that this should be against the law on the basis of instigating AI-related terrorist activity.
