Bad Bunny is not happy at all and that's why a song created by AI technology (artificial intelligence) that imitates his voice. The song has gone viral on TikTok with hundreds of thousands of views.
The song, called “nostalgIA,” features an AI-generated version of Bad Bunny’s voice as well as fake vocals from Justin Bieber and Daddy Yankee. The Puerto Rican rapper posted an angry message on his WhatsApp, expressing his disappointment with the song.
He said: “If you like this crappy song that’s going viral on Tiktok, leave this group immediately. You don’t deserve to be my friend and that’s why I made the new album, to get rid of people like that.”

"I don't even want these people on the tour," he said in a separate message.
Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, released his fifth solo studio LP “Nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana” last month.
The famous rapper is not the only one who has a problem with the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to create songs that imitate artists'.
Drake also took issue with a TikTok song that was created by an AI that mimicked his voice by combining it with a voice that sounded like The Weeknd . The song was removed from Spotify and Apple Music after the musician complained.
Other artists, including Ice Cube, have criticized people who use technology to make music with someone else's voice.

However, some musicians, including Elon Musk 's ex-girlfriend Grimes , have embraced the technology. Grimes said in April that she was willing to share the royalties for any hit song created by AI using her voice.
Artificial intelligence imitates the voice of artists and creates songs
The potential implications of songs created by artificial intelligence that mimic artists' voices could be multiple. One of them has to do with intellectual property. If artists have not given permission for their voices to be used in AI songs, this could constitute a violation of their rights.
Furthermore, creating songs using artificial intelligence can lead to a decrease in the value of originality and creativity. If fans can hear songs that imitate the voices of their favorite artists, as in the specific case of Bad Bunny, the value of the real songs can be reduced and the creative process can be undermined.

Furthermore, this tactic can lead to confusion and misleading the audience. Listeners may not be able to distinguish whether a song is actually by the artist or simply an AI creation.
Finally, using AI to create songs with an artist's voice could have implications for singers' employment. If AI-generated voices can replace human singers, this could lead to job losses and unemployment in the music industry.
