LAHORE: Star batter Babar Azam and Pakistan cricketers shared their reactions to AI-generated songs created using his voice in a light-hearted video.
The video was uploaded on Pakistan cricket social handles, with players sharing their thoughts in a light-hearted manner.
Babar said with a chuckle that he does sing, but the voice in the clip was not his own.
“I do sing, but that is not my voice. The picture looks nice though,” Babar said after listening to an AI-generated song of himself.
All-rounder Salman Ali Agha joked that he had heard worse songs than that and did not think Babar could sing better than him.
“I’ve heard worse songs than this. I don’t think Babar can sing better than me,” Salman Ali Agha said.
Fast bowler Naseem Shah said that most AI-generated songs in Pakistan were created using Babar Azam’s voice. He added that while traveling in a car, he often comes across reels which he plays on the speaker and listens to.
“In my opinion, most AI-generated songs in Pakistan are made using Babar Azam’s voice. I often travel in a car, and reels come up in front of me, which I play on the speaker and listen to. The [AI] voice is even better. We have already heard all his AI songs,” he said.
“Babar should try singing in his real voice at least once. Fans love Babar because his name keeps coming up no matter what, whether it’s singing or cricket,” he concluded.
For the unversed, Pakistan is currently involved in a three-match ODI series against Australia. The Men in Green dominated the series opener, winning the fixture by five wickets, thanks to Arafat Minhas’ fifer on debut and Babar Azam’s composed half-century.
The second ODI will be played tomorrow at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
