I’ve noticed on any of those deep fake sites you can’t find Dwayne Johnson the Rock. I wonder if there is a legal reason because surely he is super famous and would be there. I’ve searched multiple ones if there is one I missed it.

Maybe they've requested to be removed from the site. Impossible to know though, and they are unlikely to acknowledge it if you ask.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

Seemingly, assuming there are 10 + 6 combinations (1-10, seconds/minutes/hours/days/weeks/months), it'd probably be less than 250 words and you could use Fiverr to get some native French speaker who knows English (and applies a heavy accent) to do it for you, for less than 10 EUR

I think seconds and minutes are too short, right? The idea is that some significant time elapsed I think. Unless the context is some normally very short event, those are too short to be useful.

You would need more than just ten -- you wouldn't want it to read digits, you would probably prefer 'sixteen hours later' over 'one-six hours later'.

but yeah that's the general idea I'm getting at.

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

JukeBox did that for music so it's not impossible ... https://openai.com/blog/jukebox/

Wow that's creepy and fascinating. It reminds me of the way I can never quite remember lyrics and also how music happens in dreams.

It's worth mentioning that one similar site is 15.ai[1] [1] https://15.ai

> you must not mix 15.ai voices with other services in the same project

Good luck enforcing that. If someone makes a fandom crossover video and the voices are only available from separate services, that’s only good retroactively if it gets popular on YouTube and someone then tattles to the 15.ai C&D team. Even then, that doesn’t take down the mirrors.

It was a long while ago I last watched SpongeBob but I seem to remember that some of the timecards were comically short, like "2 seconds later", hence I included that. But I might be wrong.
