Could someone make one for the SpongeBob timecard voice? That would be exceptionally helpful for D&D night.

#44I have a sudden urge to want to deep fake Steven Hawking's voice. I wonder both how the deep fake tech would handle Stephen Hawking as an input, and I'm just realizing that he just missed the survival threshold for being able to use this tech.
Hawking turned down the use of new voices! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_H._Klatt

#46This looks like it was previously known as Vocodes, made by echelon who is here on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23965787 The code repos used are listed in their credits section, and it looks like a mixture of (customised?) Tacotron2, Glow-TTS, HifGan, and others. Videos are generated using Wav2Lip. Text-To-Speech (TTS) has improved greatly over the past several years, but there's still a lot of metallic s…
This list is great, thanks!

You could make your own speech synthesis site. With blackjack, at least.

That one is "just" a French accent on English words? and relatively few unique ones at that. probably wouldn't be hard to train or just brute force the most frequent number and duration words.

#49Earlier quoted context omitted.
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
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?
Disclaimer: I know nothing about AI.
I think the AI is now capable to reply to "how likely this will mean this other thing if you say it this way", that applies to text, pictures, videos, whatever, you name it. Is not intelligent in any way, but still gives meaningful responses back, which is useful for the use cases to which it is applied, search, games, etc. That been said, I have no doubts, that with time, it will reach understanding resolving basically almost any problem... but.. we always have doubts, and you can't just divine the future, look at the James Webb Telescope, we launch it to get some answers, so doesn't matter how intelligent a system may be, we would need more research, and the system will need it too, even if it's an AI, (because its needs to know things, to learn from them, in case that wasn't obvious)
