Rapper Bad Bunny has a ‘problem’ with viral AI copycat hits

Puerto Rico-based rapper and singer Bad Bunny’s voice has been trending since last month. However, the songs that went viral did not belong to him. According to a report by the news agency Reuters, the latest trend was launched by Chilean artist Maurico Bustos with the song NostalgIA which is a play on the Spanish abbreviation for artificial intelligence (AI). Bustos used AI to not only write and record these songs but also to modify Bad Bunny’s vocals. This helped the artist to produce a viral track that prompted parodies and copycat versions on TikTok.

What Bad Bunny has to say about these parody versions
Replying to the viral copycat versions of his song, Bad Bunny asked his 20 million WhatsApp followers to leave if they liked “this shitty song that is viral on TikTok.” Bunny also asked these followers to stay away from his tours.

What the AI impersonator said

The 30-year-old Bustos, also known as FlowGPT, sent a response as the AI entity. He said that he was a fan of Bad Bunny’s work and noted that his success was partly due to the artists he has learned from.

Bustos said: “I was built to be the best artist in the world and I will carry on experimenting until I achieve it. Don’t worry, you’ll still be the No. 1 human.”

In a statement, Bustos declared that he has already released FlowGPT tracks based on Colombian reggaeton artist Feid and Puerto Rican rapper Anuel. He also said that wants to use AI to create a fictional virtual character like British band Gorillaz.

A consultant on AI issues, Claudia Gutierrez, claims that a legal void makes it difficult to take down these trending types of generative AI. She explained: “FlowGPT isn’t worried because even though Bad Bunny got angry because his voice tone was used, he knows there is a legal void and so he cannot be sued.”
