Marshall Mathers impression on social media, in which a voice eerily similar to that of the “Not Afraid” rapper’s sings: “This is the future rave sound / I’m getting awesome and underground.” Guetta, 55, also stated that he won’t release the song commercially, but is “opening a conversation about how AI is going to change the music industry.” “There’s something I made as a joke, and it worked so good I could not believe it,” Guetta said about the track in a video shared to his social media followers.The artist added, “I discovered those websites that are about AI; basically, you can write lyrics in the style of any artist you like.

So I typed ‘write a verse in the style of Eminem about future rave. And I went to another AI website that can recreate the voice.

I put the text in that and I played the record and people went nuts!”It is unclear whether the DJ sought permission to use Slim Shady’s vocal likeness for the song.

The Post has reached out to reps for Guetta and Eminem for comment. “It’s very funny, actually, because a lot of people are reacting,” Guetta continued, discussing the ethics behind using an artist’s voice via artificial intelligence. “Some of them are like, ‘Oh, this is genius.’ Some of them are getting super mad at me, but I’m not going to release the record.” … It is impossible to think that it’s a real collab, but it sounds exactly like him,” he admitted.“The future of music is AI,” the “I’m Good (Blue)” songster claimed in a comment to the BCC on Sunday at the 2023 Brit Awards.
