Ned Flanders is shockingly good. I'm from Australia so I don't know half these characters it has listed, but it has all the major Simpsons characters, and that's enough for me.

If I ever end up paralysed and unable to speak, you bet your ass I'm talking like Ned Flanders to everyone.

That's funny. What was the sentence you typed if you don't mind me asking? I had subpar results with 50 cent, chosen randomly, and very NSFW language, but also Obama with "My fellow Americans" was strange.

I wonder how they're training and improving the models. I work on a product that could help them train/track/package/deploy/monitor models effectively. Maybe they're not up to date. There also is an issue with the language.

This got me thinking that it would be nice to have some sort of recursive processing in which if you say, that Flanders is personalizing Obama, then when you quote "My fellow Americans", you should hear an attempt of Flanders saying that the Obama's way. A way to detect fake voices, I guess :P

Nice! What about Flanders doing an impression of Obama doing an impression of Flanders?

My favorite deepfake is Sassy Justice by the South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WfZuNceFDM

To be clear, in Sassy Justice they had actors doing the voices and body movements, the only part that was deepfaked was the faces. That’s why the results were so good.

I’m guessing what you basically want is two switches:

- simulate tone and timbre

- simulate cadence and mannerisms.

Now I wonder if AI can do this or if this is a perfect example of where AI falls short?
