Rapper Bad Bunny has released a furious rant about a viral TikTok song that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to replicate his voice.
Track with over a million views that samples from Justin Bieber and Daddy Yankee.
On a Whatsapp post by Bad Bunny, anyone liking the song NostalgIA should leave the chat.
This is what the translator to English did for “You do not deserve to be my friend”, as said by the Spanish singer. “I also intend not to include them in the tour.”
The track was posted by a user called flowgptmusic. There is nothing that indicates flowgptmusic represents the AI application platform; FlowGPT that runs in an identical fashion to ChatGPT.
Equally, Benito Antonio Martinez – alias, Bad Bunny had a similar post on WhatsApp that has over 19 million followers describing his version of the song using expletives.
However, she rumoured of dating the model, Kendall Jenner, although they both have not made it public.
The PR representative for Bad Bunny’s record label, which operates under SonyMusic Latin, was contacted by BBC Newsbeat.
News Beat has contacted both daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber though they have not come forward to make a statement about it.
It is a hundred thousand views track with fake vocals from Justin Bieber and Daddy Yankee.
On his WhatsApp page, Bad Bunny posted that whoever likes the song nostalgIA should exit from the conversation hall.
In Spanish, the singers wrote, “You should not be my friends”. I don’t even want them following me in the tour.
A user named flowgptmusic uploaded that track on the platform, though it cannot be directly linked to the artificial intelligence-powered ChatGPT-based platform called FlowGPT.
With 19 million followers on Whatsapp, bad Bunny (whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez) too took oaths using expletives to describe the song.
The 29-year old singer of Monaco and Fina has over 83 million followers on Spotify while another relationship rumour involves the couple with model Kendall Jenner, although they have not yet gone public about it.
The BBC Newsbeat has tried to find out what Bad Bunny’s record label thinks of an artificial intelligent track produced by the same.
Newsbeat contacted both Justin Bieber and Daddy Yankee also; however, neither one has commented on this issue in public so far.
Stars are far from being the first to respond negatively to AI generated tracks.
The month of April saw creation @ghostwriter clone Drake’s and The Weeknd’s voices in Heart on my sleeves.
It quickly became a hit on the Internet and subsequently, Drake, said this was “last straw” which led to Spotify, Apple music, and Deezer removing the song off.
Software can analyse a lot of music in order to make a new piece, but today there doesn’t exist any regulation as to who has a property right.
Nonetheless, some people in the industry see AI as a potential instrument to create music and recommend acceptance of the innovation.
The founder of Spotify revealed in an interview with the BBC that AI tracks would not be banned from the platform but went as far as drawing one should never clone artist’s voices.
