So one dude did the mixing for the track while "Boi What" did the rest. Yes, it is vocally recorded and has an AI voice changer over it. The artist actually had to postpone this song because he had to redo the back half of the song since it wasn't up to his standards. Dude is nuts and certainly knows his shit, I'd love to hear his raw voice on this track.

I love how expressive the Plankton ai is, it is so good at the transitions between screams and cleans, it's actually mental

[@MrFearlesskiller]

Its not fully AI, someone is actually singing it, so that's why it sounds better

[@bluetoothpasteman5022]

@@MrFearlesskiller I know that, but many ai voice modulators absolutely suck at screams and harsh vocals, the plankton ai is great at both and can even slide between them, which is hard even for a human

Imagine what the voice actor would say if they see this ai cover

[@2Wycked]

The lyric "What's real and what's fake will be left up to fate" is pretty deep, considering the AI nature of this.

[@vinyredx9220]

Didn't thought like that but holy shit, you're so right

[@jimjones_koolaid]

The neon tide will cleanse all of humanity. No shot tho,, I been seeing shit like that in AI generated stuff there’s almost always some really sus things it sais. Example; I somehow clicked on one o those AI SpongeBob (and Simpson also) livestream things and Sandy (?) the squirrel was saying something like she was building a machine that would become self aware and take over the world and destroy humanity.

[@WLxMusic]

@@jimjones_koolaid That's cause the AI pulls from AI fiction, and most common plot point for AI fiction is AI taking over the world. We're not quite there with AI, but we will get there some day, especially if the neural net is physically in built into a robot, with pleasure and displeasure systems.

[@holographicfrog1503]

Honestly the whole song applies to technology in general.

[@YuaFujiwara]

He sings it but put it under a filter to make it sound like spongebob and plankton

I won't lie, this is actually legit fucking awesome. Not the biggest fan of AI personally (or at least, the current way it's used) but this song absolutely slaps. Kinda wishing that BMTH did a cover of this, the entire song seems like it could've been made by them to be honest

[@megawl2086]

He uses AI only as a voice filter, he's actually singing these songs and hits these notes

[@shr00m44]

Plankton's voice model includes both his normal talking voice and his psychotic screaming in the show, so it makes the metal screams way cleaner than just about any other model out there - just because the AI model has material/references to work with.

[@megawl2086]

AI is only used as a voice filter in BOIWHAT's songs, the guy actually has pipes

[@dammaman]

[@JustK4Y1512]

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ONE, THAT BREAKDOWN IS JUST CRAZY, THANKS NIK

[@ArcherGhost]

Okay, as much as I usually dislike ai songs, this SLAPS!! And it's evident that the artist/producer put genuine effort into this. The storyline, the screams from Plankton, the addition of Spongebob's vocals, the instrumental being gritty and sharp, the fact that this song sounds like a combination of bmth, ptv and grandson; IT'S PERFECTION

[@metroidhunter965]

The plankton AI cover with Krabs and Squidward of The Highwaymen (which was a supergroup featuring Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson) is _REALLY_ good.

[@giorgosiossifidis7574]

We are stealing the secret formula with this one

[@MCDexpo]

Not going to lie, I freaking love the chord progression in the chorus, it just hits that note in my feel-good part of my brain

[@ProvokerZ]

That sponge note was actually pretty sick

[@BChuckVT]

I definitely think there's things that this one does better than Plan Z, like the breakdown. But overall, I do still think Plan Z was a better song. Especially in terms of the vocal mixing. It wasn't terrible in this song, but there were some iffy parts here and there. Which Plan Z really didn't have. Still a total banger though. I love both of them!

[@clayman648]

That was actually so much fun watching you get into this one!! thanks for the laughs mate! 3:22 Come on hahaha it was heaps good!!!!! "My pinapple is Grey" when you heard it, you're like okay, I'll go along with it.

5:04 when the instruments cut, and its just the "neeeoooon" chorus, what is he doing to give it that vocoder effect? Is that a vocoder or just multiple of the same voice singing a certain chord?

Plan Z was such a banger it made it into the top 50 of my Spotify Wrapped this year, now I have another Planktoncore song to go crazy with. Honestly hope this guy keeps up with them as they are so good.

[@CatherineBriseboisCatWoods]

This was fun! I lost it at: "my pineapple is gray... Gary ran away. " 🤣🤘

[@kyunasan]

I was waiting for this one so bad. The fact that behind Plankton filtrer, this guy is really singing and doing so great is awesome! I'm also kinda curious to hear him singing without this filter, this chorus is just so good (the lyrics as well, I feel like nobody talks about it). And the growls when he says "Call your bluff" jeez. EDIT: Brandon Caelum (the artist who worked with him) explained that the harmonies are BOI WHAT's real voice, that's sick!

[@Sharp1ization]

That chorus with the voices really giving me that Breaking Benjamin vibe

[@TheErazar]

The chorus and breakdowns are great.

[@KentuckyTech]

I CANNOT wait to hear a good vocal cover of this.

[@Mahbeiserts]

My guess is that he has an excellllllant voice and might already kinda sound like Plankton, then he does the AI filter and it's even better. There's no way anybody but an amazing vocalist and songwriter could pull this off. Trash input = trash output and this isn't trash.
