TikTok users are now using AI to make Michael Jackson sing Bruno Mars' "Treasure."
Singer Bruno Mars poses in the press room at the Grammy Nominations Concert, December 1, 2010, at Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles. The 53rd annual Grammy Awards show will take place in Los Angeles on February 13, 2011.

On the other hand, many music enthusiasts said that Bruno Mars is still far from the singing talent of MJ. Now, many of their fans decided to use AI to make MJ sing "Treasure." They are posting the results on TikTok, which are gaining lots of likes and views.
