Mauricio Bustos, a 30-year-old Chilean artist, struggled for years to break into the music industry via his YouTube channel. In October 2023, he created a song called "NostalgIA" using AI to clone the voices of stars like Bad Bunny and Justin Bieber. The song went viral, amassing millions of views and streams, and sparked a global debate about the legitimacy of AI-generated art. Released under the name FlowGPT, the project features a visual character akin to the cartoon band Gorillaz, representing a futuristic vision of music.
