In today’s world, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is ushering in a transformative era, enabling feats that were once deemed impossible just a decade ago. The capabilities of AI are expanding beyond imagination – from generating a 10,000-word thesis in seconds to resurrecting the voices of long-departed individuals. Social media is currently witnessing a captivating trend where beloved songs are being reimagined in the voices of different singers, a testament to AI’s prowess.
