Chances are you have already noticed AI sneaking into all sorts of apps, and YouTube is no exception. Now, the world’s biggest video-sharing platform is testing yet another AI-driven feature.
It’s likely that you have already observed AI infiltrating a variety of apps, including YouTube. The largest video-sharing website in the world is now testing a new AI-powered function.
AI enables music producers to remix songs with the touch of a button.
YouTube’s Dream Track initiative, which creates soundtracks using AI-generated voices from participating artists, is getting bigger. The most recent addition enables creators to alter licensed tunes for their shorts using AI.
Prompts can now be used by a limited number of creators to modify various elements of a song, such as its genre or mood. A personalized, redesigned 30-second soundtrack will be produced by YouTube using this enhanced Dream Track AI feature.
Both the Short itself and the Shorts audio pivot page will prominently display the original song’s credit in these restyled soundtracks, along with a clear indication that the tune was altered using artificial intelligence.
YouTube said that musicians such as Charlie Puth, Charli XCX, Demi Lovato, and John Legend can create songs using AI-generated vocals through the Dream Track initiative. It’s still unclear, though, which music labels are included in this test or which songs are eligible for reworking.
To be honest, I’m not really sure why this feature is appealing, but perhaps I’m the only one. By enabling them to alter a song’s atmosphere to better fit their video, it might even benefit producers. I don’t think many other artists will embrace this feature, though, so it might not become widely used. However, only time will tell.
In other YouTube news, the app is testing a swipe-up gesture to move on to the next video, which is reminiscent of TikTok. Additionally, it is introducing a new design for the iPhone and Android playback speed controls. Additionally, early YouTube Music Premium subscribers on special intro rates should be aware that a price increase is imminent.
