I wonder if this could be use on RPG games in which there are so many texts and dialogs that having a recorded voice for all of them is impracticable.

#132So, now we can't trust text, images, videos, or audio. Any of them could be fake. What is left?

#135So....I'm going to paste the abstract here because the headline is incredibly misleading and should be changed. >Abstract: We describe a neural network-based system for text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis that is able to generate speech audio in the voice of many different speakers, including those unseen during training. Our system consists of three independently trained components: (1) a speaker encoder network, trained…
Thanks... Too long of a scroll to find somebody posting the actual science behind the click-bait.
Nit: this is more design/engineering than science. There is no hypothesis being tested about how the world works.

#136Wow, impressive results! Already a few examples in the comments of what bad actors could do this tech. I wanted to share an example of something good. I lost my dad about 6 years ago after a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis and a 3 month rapid diagnosis. I have some, but not a lot of video content of him from over the years. My mom still misses him terribly so for her 60th birthday I tried to splice together an audio message…
Philip K Dick wrote about people going to commune with artificial personality constructs of their deceased loved ones.
Unfortunately, it's been a long time since I read it, so I don't remember which book it was in. Maybe someone who's read him more recently can remember.
Update: Apparently, lots of other people wrote about this too, but PKD wrote about this before any of the ones mentioned so far, as he wrote about this in the 1950's or 60's. I'm not sure if he was the absolute first, however. So if anyone knows of any earlier references, it would be interesting to learn about them.

There was also a Black Mirror episode.

#138It means we can talk to anyone forever
It means you can make someone talk, non-stop, for an indefinite amount of time. Now I want to make an art piece that's just a valley girl droning on, and on, and on, and on about believable and obnoxious life experiences. The stores they go to, how they feel about certain colors, what "too spicy" is. It just never stops.
This sounds like a brilliant idea, and I'm almost wanting to build it myself. If we can tack on a visual head and sync up the lips to the words, it'd be amazing and would likely go viral.

Did you know that there's an entire field called Computer Science - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science

#140At first glance there seems to be more more malicious uses than good ones with voice. Yes, hearing someone dear to me say things he/she never said maybe comforting. Anything else? Maybe some movies with the deceased actor's voice? But what if someone who wants to hurt me sends me files (or phone calls) from the deceased person saying horrible things like: - "I am still alive but left as I was tired of you" - "oh Jan,…
People had the exact same concerns when digital image manipulation software became popular, including the "we will never be able to trust an image again" question. To answer your question, I think the biggest step we took in adapting to the ever-present risk that an image may have been manipulated is acknowledging that it's possible. As soon as people knew that something could be faked, they realized that having a pu…
Luckily now people don't ever believe photographs as sole evidence in the court of public opinion, and always corroborate that evidence.
Wait. No. I had that backward.
How long has photo manipulation been around? And people still fall for it every minute of every day.
I have zero faith these tech developments will lead to anything good, or that we'll even learn how to deal with them effectively.
