"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

There is a new strategy I noticed recently. My wife was listening to an 80's "radio station" (autogenerated playlist) on YouTube Music and I noticed that some of the songs sounded a bit odd. It took me a bit but I figured out what these scammers are doing.

  1. Use Abelton to separate the vocal stem from the original track.
  2. Use ReVoice to change the vocals to an AI altered one that is almost identical to the original. ReVoice is a plugin that modifies "your" vocals instead of generating new vocals. The result is a vocal track who's artificialness is difficult to detect by most.
  3. Replace the original vocal stem with the ReVoice one.
  4. Upload it as a "cover" or "vocal cover".
  5. Profit.

Please note that the song and the vocals remain exactly the same but the voice is just ever so slightly different. I have no idea how this is legal.

All it takes to make it legal is proper attribution. There are actually publishers that can do this for you. You upload your song, provide all of the proper attribution, and they will blast it out to every platform.

Easy and legal.

Which songs? You're saying it sounded identical, but was listed as a cover, meaning the albums they came from were different from the original versions? I have YT Music, can you link some?

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The one that really caught my ear was "(I Just) Died In Your Arms", originally by Cutting Crew. I cannot give you a link to that specific track because my wife started the playlist via our old (no screen) Google Home, but it doesn't take much to find them if you kick off a generic "radio station" based on older music.

They are the same songs as in the album but with an AI based voice modulation on the vocal stem. Pitch shifting the track ever so slightly can also disguise it.

Cool, thank you. I'll look. My morbid curiosity is immense.
