I know there's a whole ethics thing revolving around the use of AI but I still find this sort of stuff to be amazing.

it’s awesome, makes you think, is fun to see, and takes nothing away from any artist. i’m a hobbymusician, my kids dad is a professional musician, i have musician friends. and i say it’s fine. locking down culture is dumb and wasn’t done throughout all of history. it shouldn’t be allowed now either. post away!

This is an advanced voice changer. This is a human performance that has been modified to sound like someone else. This is not an AI generated performance.

I have a big problem with synthetic performance. Music performed by sample libraries pretending to be human performers is abhorrent, but it's also something that's been possible for decades now.

But this isn't that. This is a voice changer.

On a side note, I'm reaching the point in my life where I've become very interested in old country artists and new modern (underground) ones. I'd always heard of Hank Williams, but never really listened to what he had to say. And my god, some of his songs have made me emotional. The hurt, the struggle. I'm not someone to get easily emotional over anything, but hearing ol Hank sing about how his woman doesn't love him because she had her heart broken by someone else but he still loves her anyway, cuts deep.
