Not to mention that OpenAI's ChatGPT is quickly taking the world by storm as Microsoft introduced the AI chatbot in its search engine, Bing, which rivals the giant platform Google.

And this time, no less than the Grammy-winning DJ Guetta is using AI in a new song.

The French DJ played a track in his live performance last February 3, wherein the crowd heard a deepfake voice of Eminem.

He says his audience cheered when they heard a voice similar to the famed rap artist.
