It’s only be two days since the beta launch of Grimes’ new AI voice platform, where users can made their vocals sound like that of the singer, and its been used by over 15,000 people.
Grimes’ Elf.tech AI platform can transform the vocals of any user, to that of Grimes. According to her team, the resulting music is now becoming available via streaming services.
Taking to Twitter, Grimes’ manager Daouda Leonard said that the new platform had brought in over 15,000 total users. This stat was shared on Wednesday (3 May), so it’s unknown what the figure could be now.
“Since launching GrimesAI-1 incredible new emergent creative behavior has taken off,” the manager wrote.
Some users have been using the platform to create their own original music:
While others are using it to create some wild covers:
Creative users have even used the platform to programme Grimes’ voice to be the narrator on adventure game WarNymph.

The release of Elf.Tech comes a little over a week after Grimes took to Twitter to share her thoughts on AI.
“I’ll split 50 [percent] royalties on any successful AI generated song that uses my voice,” she wrote on the app, while sharing a headline about the fake Drake and The Weeknd song that was created by AI.
“Feel free to use my voice without penalty. I have no label and no legal bindings,” she continued. “I think it’s cool to be fused w a machine and I like the idea of open sourcing all art and killing copyright”.
Despite the fact that Grimes is happy for anyone to use her voice “without penalty”, she has reminded users to “please be tasteful”.
