If you want to sound like a popular singer, such as John Legend or Demi Lovato, you can, thanks to artificial intelligence. YouTube is launching an AI tool that lets you imitate pop stars. The feature is called Dream Track and it lets users create short songs by describing qualities like lyrical content and mood. Nine artist have given permission for their voices to be "cloned" by the software including Legend, Lovato, Charli XCX, Troye Sivan, T-Pain, Alec Benjamin, Charlie Puth, Papoose and Sia. As of now, only about 100 creators have access to Dream Track and they can only use it to create music for YouTube shorts.
