Covers are becoming increasingly popular on social media, but the catch is they’re often not by actual singers. Instead, they’re AI-generated, and netizens can make it sound like famous musicians are covering other artists.
BTS‘s Jungkook was surprised when he attempted to watch ARMYs’ covers of his solo song “Seven (feat. Latto)” only to discover that many covers were AI-generated.
Why are there so many AI covers these days?

I really saw an AI-generated cover of me covering Jungkook’s ‘Seven.’ That sounds like me! Scary but cool at the same time.
