There is a need for a solution to this problem -- something like public / private key encryption or "more advanced social security" number to verify authenticity of a source via digital signature. There is a business to be made there.

You mean like China's social credit system? Sounds dystopian

This exists, and it's a joint effort across a lot of tech companies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C2PA

I think what gives it away is when answering questions, chat GPT first repeats the question. For example the question is: "If you were to be found in a small blue room with your favorite food, what would you do?". The answer would start with: "if I were found in a small blue room with my favorite food I would..." Normal people don't usually talk like that.

Television presenters and interview subjects are coached to answer questions like that, repeating the question before answering it- I wonder if that's where ChatGPT picked up that particular habit.

Fantastic execution. The generating dialogue I understand; how did they get the voices so incredibly lifelike?! Where do I start when I want text to speech like this?!

I never would have guessed computers writing code would come before generating convincing voices.

Genetic programming has been around for decades. GPT/LLM based coding is not the only type.

I'd vouch for this.

Much like you can sign PDFs with your private key certificate[0], you should be able to sign any kind of file, including audio.

Even if my voice was AI-generated, I could endorse it by signing it.

All we need are CA's jumping into this bandwagon.

Personally I love this new AI voice content booms. My favorite is the AI presidents discussing/playing/rating stuff [1], Attenborough narrating warhammer [2]. While slightly silly, I think in future people might start to take internet way less serious when you can literally make things up. Which I think is a good trend. People getting depressed or so consumed by the internet culture that they loose all interest in th…

Absolutely. This trend has put me on track for a sort of internet retreat. I can’t know if anything I’m reading or hearing is real suddenly. Previously I could be critical of it and consider sources and try to be rational, but at this point it seems reckless to be immersed in this environment.

Even in terms of work, I’m suddenly put off by purely digital things. I want to interface with the real world, hardware, build systems that humans need. I’m very interested in AI, but it’s not a problem I’m solving and I suppose I don’t really want to compete with it or interface with it more than on an opt-in basis.

>> We might be just going back to the time of early, anonymous internet forums time where most people used to it just didn't take it too seriously Man I was just thinking about it lastnite. Back in the day we were (at some level) respectful to each other in places like IRC and forums, even tho nobody knew each other. And when some idiot started to f- around you had IRCOps and moderators, so it was somewhat easier and…

then they get elected and your like...whaaat?

Based on my experience with Substack posts with ChatGPT's rewriting layoff notices in various voices, including Trump's:

The novelty of this idea has worn off. The first post has almost 20x the views of the second. I don't think Rogan has anything to worry about.
