Weird A.I. Yankovic, a cursed deep dive into the world of voice cloning - Waxy.org

What would it sound like if the musicians parodied by "Weird Al" Yankovic sang *his* parodies instead? I jumped off the deep end into the world of A.I. cover songs to find out, and the results are even worse than you imagine.

I wish I could say this stuff is cool and I definitely get the fun that kids get from it. But it's always at a cost. Cory Doctorow talks about this indirectly in Chokepoint Capitalism but all of this comes at some artists who were underpaid, never cited and frankly just erased from history being even more further removed from the art. I do get a chuckle out of hearing Patrick from Spongebob sing "Umbrella" by Rihanna but I could have also lived without it. And I'm the one who loses the least.
