The bottle is very well smashed for the AI genie, because the technology is already in the hands of your average joe. Whether we have imitation AI music or "fake" crimes, the technology used is widely available and simplistic enough to create results. There is no stopping AI now outside of regulation, and even then that will not do much due to how outdated laws are once implemented (see digital copyright, social media harassment etc).
Bit of a difference though. Any schmuck with a tablet and a wifi connection can go pirate a song or a movie. Programming an AI to sound like someone or create an entire realistic video is not something that any schmuck can do. They either have to have the tech and knowhow themselves or have to be provided it. Harsh penalties and regulation can help limit the spread of the that technology or a company's ability to share it freely without consequences.
Not saying it would stop it entirely, but it could slow the flood before it becomes too widespread.
I checked out some of these AI remixes, they're good bit they do still sound a bit off, especially the Freddy mercury ones.. but, this made me laugh my arse off..
Which is why we need regulations and laws passed that help curb the abuse of it and to give those who fall victim to it the ability to fight back and remove it.
for sure. and I can see this being regulated eventually, but like mentioned, it won't stop people doing it. There's also the issue of how they're used e.g. in a derogatory sense and if they're trying to monetize someone's voice. I'm not sure voice is copyrightable, but there are appropriation laws to protect the artist. But what would happen when you combine 2+ artists to create something unique?
Someone should use the sounds of an animal to create a song
