This looks extremely similar to what often happened with chat implementations in 3 and 3.5 era: GPT world generate it's answer and then go on and generate the next input by the user as well.

Makes sense. With local models it's easy to make this happen with poorly defined stop tokens.

The user's voice is vectorized somehow, and the model is predicting a series of vectors and won't have a sense of "self" to let it recognize it's own voice vs the user's.

This problem appeared during pre-release testing and has since been solved post-generation using an output classifier that verifies responses, according to the system card release. It was predictable that someone would spin this into a black mirror-esque clickbait story.

I am absolutely baffled how you don't see the contradiction in your 2 sentences lol

So Open AI has the capability to deep fake any of its users that use the voice chat capability? Yikes.

Anyone can clone a voice with access to a couple of seconds of it.

A couple seconds? Which project does this?

Did anybody with a passing familiarity with the technology not know this? There's a reason people don't trust their IP to public chat assistants, ya know. It's because they're remorselessly siphoning our data for training purposes. And you've agreed to let them use your inputs for anything they please.

We'll have to gradually get used to the notion that a person's voice, like so many other things we once thought of as intimately personal, is just a coordinate in a high-dimensional vector space.

There are many models, XTTS [1] is a good one.

I’ve had success with elevenlabs.

Those are not contradictions.

every single voice cloning project

I'm sure you could have used google

it was even possible 5 years ago
