The use of AI is increasing with each passing day, and with it come its pros and cons. Now the voices of legendary singers are being cloned with the help of AI, and new versions of songs are being released, which are getting popular as well. Seeing this, popular Bollywood singer Shaan got angry and called it wrong and unethical, and severely reprimanded those people who are making songs in the voice of old singers using AI.

Let us tell you that in the recent past, many such videos and songs have gone viral on social media, which were made using AI. Recently, people used AI to clone the voice of the title track of ‘Saiyara’. And then a new song of ‘Saiyara’ was made and released in the voice of singer Kishore Kumar. The song went viral and was liked a lot on social media, but this growing trend of ‘AI voice cloning’ has made people worried for authenticity.

Shaan said that the songs or videos being made using AI are an insult to the artists and singers of the past. People are being cruel to them. Talking to one of the media houses, the singer said, ‘I find this AI very cruel when they try to make songs like ‘Ye gana agar Kishore da gaate, ye gana agar Mohammad Rafi gaate. What they sang in the 40s, 60s, and 80s was very different. So if they were singing today, it would be very different again.’

Shaan further said, ‘It is wrong that you make that song as if they had sung that song. This is not necessary. You cannot create an AI of someone whose singing has been so dynamic. So it is wrong to take the tone of any four songs and make a lot of tracks and covers from it.’ Shaan called the audience ‘naasamajh’ because they mistook the voice of AI for the voice of a real singer. He urged music lovers not to listen to such AI tracks, but to enjoy the songs of Kishore Kumar, which he sang in his time.
