A couple seconds? Which project does this?
Cloning voice signature or timbre may need a bit more for a good quality. Then there are idiosyncracies in one’s voice. In addition to that, there are tiny verbal tics, expressions, cadence, feel, and some more to be able to say you have properly cloned someone’s voice. The two second sample is like a shallow clone of sorts and is indeed vector space.

The last sentence is hilarious. What do you think "properly" cloned voices are? Not every model is few shot and not every model relies on their training set for paralanguage anymore. Easiest way to try it out is properly the pro voice cloning from elevenlabs.
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.

Anyone can clone a voice with access to a couple of seconds of it.
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.
Everything is, including types of personality, physiognomy and demographics. Anything that can be related to anything else is embeddable.

That doesn’t remove privacy and other rights.

Those are not contradictions.
One of the common bad takes is that since personal things can be distilled to “just math” they are no longer personal or valuable in the sort of way we value personal things. Increasing our understanding of how the world works shouldn’t devalue the world. To put it another way, people having souls is not the only reason to treat people like people. Or as Dr Seuss says: A person’s a person no matter how small.

I am absolutely baffled how you don't see the contradiction in your 2 sentences lol
It’s “unexpected” because their early training didn’t get rid of it as well as they hoped. LLM’s are good at detecting patterns and like to continue the pattern. They’re starting with autocomplete for voice and training it to do something else. For now, it’s fairly harmless since it’s only a blooper in a lab, but there will likely be open-weights versions of this sort of thing eventually. And there will probably be p…

"Expressions" in particular is about choice of words. A few seconds definitely isn't enough to duplicate that.

The capability is real even if it wont happen with current model censorship. Just have to wait until we get an open source version, I bet Meta is working on one right now.
