The YouTube channel There I Ruined It creates new variations of songs the usage of AI-generated voices. For Dustin Ballard, the channel’s author, the purpose is to “lovingly spoil your favourite songs.” Take the instance above. Right here, an AI model of Johnny Money’s voice sings the lyrics of Aqua’s “Barbie Woman,” set to the tune of Money’s “Folsom Jail Blues.” Just lately, Ballard defined his technique to Trade Insider:

My procedure for those is a bit other than most of the people. I first report the vocals myself in order that I will do my easiest imitation of the cadence of the unique singer. Then I take advantage of certainly one of their very own songs (like ‘Folsom Jail Blues’ quite than the unique ‘Barbie Woman’ tune) so as to add to the appearance that this can be a ‘actual’ music within the artist’s catalog, even though obviously all completed in jest. In any case, I take advantage of an AI voice fashion educated on snippets of the unique artist’s making a song to become my voice into theirs. I’ve a man in Argentina I continuously name upon for this coaching (even though the Johnny Money one already existed).

When you head over to There I Ruined It, you’ll be able to pay attention different AI creations: Hank Williams sings “Directly Outta Compton,” Louis Armstrong sings Flo Rida’s “Low,” Frank Sinatra sings Lil Jon’s “Get Low” and extra.
