Freaky Style-AI: Hillel Slovak’s voice on new Chili Peppers documentary has been AI-generated

Hillel Slovak (1962 - 1988), in 1985.

The Netflix documentary about the early days of the Red Hot Chili Peppers premiered last week and fans may have noticed something, well, odd about it. The Rise Of The Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel is part narrated by Antony Kiedis and Flea, but also Slovak himself, who died back in 1988. How so?

Well, even if you haven’t seen it yet, you might have already guessed: yes, the voice of Slovak has been AI-generated. The words that are spoken come directly from the guitarist’s own journals though.
