Absolutely great Louis Menand's article in the New Yorker Magazine about the future of copyright in light of AI advancement. The lawyers are going to make a LOT of money. I loved his questions around AI-generated voices signing modern song material.

...People loved the A.I.-generated version of Johnny Cash singing a Taylor Swift song, which was posted online last year by a person in Texas named Dustin Ballard. But who owns it? Could Taylor Swift sue? Probably not, since it’s a cover. Does the Cash estate have an ownership claim? Not necessarily, since you can’t copyright a style or a voice. Dustin Ballard? He neither composed nor performed the song. No one? Does it belong to all the world?
