The Strange Future of AI in Music.

Grimes is allowing anyone to use AI models of her voice and split royalties 50/50 with the creator of any successful song doing so. Her manager, Daouda Leonard, sees voice-cloning as akin to fan-fiction or fan-created artwork and believes it could reshape music. Leonard accepts Universal's decision to push for the takedown of the fake Drake/The Weeknd song, which was built around AI-cloned voices, as it lacked consent and was demeaning to the artists and Black music in general.
