Voice cloning
Grimes is not the first artist to embrace voice cloning and the tools of artificial intelligence.
Holly Herndon, an experimental musician, introduced her own artificial voice called Holly Plus in 2021. Herndon allows users to upload audio files and receive a new version sung in her voice. Only members of Herndon’s decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) can benefit from the voice model.
Only recently, the song Heart on my sleevewhere Drake and The Weeknd allegedly sing, went viral on platforms, reaching 600 thousand plays on Spotify, as well as 15 million views on TikTok and 275 thousand plays on YouTube. The song was made entirely with artificial intelligence.
