This article highlights a tool launched by Holly Herndon called Holly+ "that enables other artists to create music using the AI-generated likeness of their voice. Works created using Holly+ are essentially outspoken deepfakes approved and encouraged by Herndon." Think of it like autotunes but for harmonization using Herndon's own voice. The point being argued here is that  "instead of rejecting new technology, everyone from workers to businesses, to amateur creators, can learn to use these tools to make their lives easier or open up new creative avenues. By adopting AI, skeptics can help ensure that growing technology is used for good, not left to shape by ill-intentioned parties." The original article is from Business Insider and hidden behind a paywall.
