AI changing creative landscape of Sandalwood

BENGALURU: Music is an integral part of cinema, so it is for Kannada cinema too. Many movies owe their success to songs, which are a creative collaboration of lyricists, composers and singers.

But now, AI is re-writing that familiar song.

“AI is being used to write lyrics, especially in low-budget movies. Once you get the lyrics, it gives thousands of tunes to render it. It even asks whether you want male or female singers. When you push the button, the song is ready with an AI-based singer belting out an AI-based song of AI-composed music from AI-powered lyrics,” said well-known music composer, actor and film director V Manohar.
