I know watermarks are never foolproof, but they may deter casual misuse.
Any idea how this is possible? Voicemod does something similar and I couldn't figure it out. Is it actually AI or is this just shifting pitch/reverb/etc

There are dozens of other products in this category, including completely open source ones you can fine tune. Commercial applications like Voice.Ai and Koe are real time and have celebrity and anime voices respectively. The RVC ecosystem on GitHub has dozens of different real time open source voice changers. I haven't kept up with the SOTA, but they're incredible, fine tunable, and 100% local. https://voice.ai https:…
They all use like 50% of my cpu to get real time. I was able to get actual low latency with koi, but still massive cpu usage. And theres no community of models for it either.
Perhaps someone who really knows what theyre doing could optimize these open source models but its not me
All this technology is leading to a world where we can present second-life/alternative identities cohesively online. I wonder if this is going to cause a global decline in the ability for people to express themselves, since it is now so easy to create an identity online that is different than your real-life identity. I think it's rather sad. Yes, there are some fringe use-cases perhaps but I think this is the wrong d…
It will first lead to a world where fake videos of celebrities will be used to scam you, and your own voice will be used to scam your relatives. Both of those are happening today. Ironically, this will lead to a work where we need to use these fake personas online to not have our lives messed with offline. I don’t fully agree with your first paragraph, but I do agree with the second one.
I can't really see it becoming common for cold-calls that pretend to be someone the victim knows (like the terrifying ransom calls), since the operations work at a huge scale expecting most people to not even pick up a "scam likely" call. Even given free and instant model tuning, just having to find voice clips of the person prior to each unanswered automated call seems like it would tank the quantity they're able to make.
I imagine there will be plenty of unevidenced claims that this is what scammers did to them though. Victims have always said "it sounded exactly like him/her", and from there it's more comforting for someone to conclude they must've been fooled by a sophisticated attack rather than something simple.
For more targetted phishing, like pretending to be a company's CEO and phoning employees to get access, I could definitely see it being used. I think we're probably going to have to move "person sounds like boss over the phone" from "plausible to fake" to "trivial to fake".
This seems really cool and I can see some great use cases. But the marketing is very odd to me. It says it will let me express myself in a voice that is truly my own…but I can already do that with my natural voice. That seems more likely to be unique than what I would get by adjusting it in software.
Would you be interested in any help porting/maintaining a Linux release?

Outside of the trans use-case mentioned here, I could imagine some women gamers getting value out of this too. You kinda need voice comms to play some games properly, and not wanting to reveal yourself as a woman online, especially over voip, is completely reasonable. Because gamers are terrible. Something like this could make hiding that trivial, assuming the latency is accurate (would need to be very fast in some g…

Are gamers really more toxic towards women than men? I feel like switching gender will just switch one kind of toxicity to another.

You can clone a voice from a clip which is under 5 seconds.

All you need is a short spam call and you’re done before you even realise anything is happening. Or grab some video out of Facebook since you’ll have the family connections right there for the taking.
