It's worth it!
Would have liked to know it before installing.

#73Why does the Mac installer require admin right and a restart? Giving admin rights to an installer requires trust in the vendor. Supertone Shift is just a newborn. I cancelled the installation because of that.
I would love to test the technology without the risk of damaging my computer!

> and your own voice will be used to scam your relatives. Both of those are happening today. 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…
> just having to find voice clips of the person You can clone a voice from a clip which is under 5 seconds. https://www.pcmag.com/news/microsofts-ai-program-can-clone-y... 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.
There's no human in the process (to be trawling through Facebook pages looking for videos where relatives speak) prior to the victim picking up - and even then often not until the victim has replied to some initial hook. The huge number of phones being automatically rang doesn't permit it, as far as I can tell.

We've become slaves to the technology and are doomed to watch helplessly at it destroys us?
Long time ago. Since the discovery of electricity, basically.
It's a pity to think that after everything we've achieved we still haven't mastered self control.

#76Very interesting! I would like some clarity on the Terms of Service clause 4: > The content created using Supertone Shift remains your property. However, by using our Services, you grant Supertone a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, adapt, and display content solely for the purpose of operating and improving Supertone Shift. This license does not grant Supertone any rights to sell or d…
The phrasing is pretty standard, the important part is the middle sentence. Often it includes irrevocable , transferable and sublicensable as well. That being said, I hate "remains your property" part. It's just fluff that changes nothing, but distracts from the following sentence.
The reason why this is standard is because functionally, anything that receives data from a user, hosts it, and transmits it to third parties is engaging in distribution of copyrighted content. Without a grant of license, pretty much every message board, social media platform, or any website or internet-based application that does anything with user-generated data could be exposed to copyright liability. You may note that this very site's legal declarations page includes an identical clause.
"Remains your property" is not fluff at all, and explicitly disclaims any ownership of rights associated with content you post, and equivalently indemnifies users against any liability for re-posting or re-using content they posted here, which they'd potentially be exposed to if they were assigning copyright to the hosting platform rather than just granting a license.

#77Curious Question: Given the low latency, does it run the computation on device or over the network? If on device, are there minimum CPU requirements?
Very interested in this answer! I'd really like to see it on the website for any AI I'm considering. It's an entirely different proposition as to whether you're getting a utility or a service.

Thanks for this, I was very eager to try it out but this is a always a deal breaker.

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:…
Ive tried making this exact product using all of these services, including using github repo koi is based on. 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

Could you share the repo?

that is totally dependent on the jurisdictions involved, and modified by the agreement that the user accepts to start the service(s) no?
