Will the Real Slim Shady please stand up? How about the real David Guetta? The DJ and music producer has used AI to replicate Eminem's voice for a track and it has blown people's minds and speakers.

The Grammy-award winning DJ debuted the new sounds during a recent performance and captured it on video during his set. He wrote on Twitter: “Let me introduce you to… Emin-AI-em,” as the artist otherwise known as Marshall Mathers can be heard saying: “This is the future rave sound / I’m getting awesome and underground.”

In other footage, he talks about the use of AI-generating websites and says: “Eminem bro, there’s something that I made as a joke and it works so good — I could not believe it!

"Basically you can write lyrics in the style of any artist you like, so I typed, 'Write a verse in the style of Eminem about future rave,’ and I went to another AI website that can recreate the voice.

“I put the text in that and I played the record and people went nuts.”

Guetta confirmed: "I obviously I won’t release this commercially."

People commented: "It’s interesting tbh but you could also ask the actual Eminem to be in the song for you. Since AI is getting so big, everyone is like, since no one is putting out music, I’ll just use AI to do it. For me it’s getting so scary."

"This clip sounds awesome, where can we hear the track?" asked another.

"Get the real Eminem to do vocals and release it. It sounds really cool," praised one fan.

A deflated user commented: “The most depressing thing maybe ever.”

"This is just the beginning of AI. Terminator is coming," said one person.

More AI-generated content is being created by tech experts over on TikTok using software to produce songs which appear to be sung by artists, including Ariana Grande and Normani’s song Motivation.
