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…

I think it’s a boon for privacy. If fake images/videos/sound can easily be generated indistinguishable from actual footage, if there’s something embarrassing out there you can quite legitimately just claim it’s an AI hit piece by a hater.

People spread rumors today. "it could be a lie" is weak in practice. And if not, well now all crime is legal because nothing can be proven now that evidence can be fabricated.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

People have always made shit up on the internet. Even prior to Photoshop, the first rule of the net is don't trust anything you read.

I thought the first rule was to never read anything and just comment based on the title of the post.

It's the same rule, just optimized.

Hilarious. Donald Trump reacting to Joe Biden putting Chainsaw Man at number 2 is easily one of the funniest things I've heard done with these voice gen softwares in a long while. Obviously, the concept itself is already highly absurd, but the fact that the execution is so relatively good just really adds a lot. It reminds me of the 2000s a lot, yeah. For example, does anyone else remember all of the George W Bush se…

This and some of the "presidents play minecraft" videos my kids have shown me is the best internet entertainment i've had in a long while. It does remind me of the early days funny stuff that could be found on the Internet. Super absurd and ridiculous and made just for fun.

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.

Why wouldn't the solution be just check the canonical source for the content?

IE go to joe rogan's spotify page and see if the content is linked there.

AI researchers and companies need to starting asking themselves: just because we can does it mean we should? The societal implications and risks of this technology are enormous. This could lead to an erosion of publc trust in audio and video evidence. Imagine someone creating something that gives dangerous medical advice using Fauci's likeness? Or giving the worst politicians an excuse to say that something they actu…

While I agree with you, this is wishful thinking. We need regulations before things get out of hand.

This isn't a new issue. Image and likeness laws exist for a reason. A more clear example on how this could be harmful, and how we are already equipped to deal with this - I saw an ad for a supplement that had a convincing AI Joe Rogan "talking about it on his podcast" and how it's the greatest thing that everyone needs to buy. This is illegal currently, and it's not any different from hiring a Joe Rogan impersonator…

I bet the lawyers are so happy about generative AI they can hardly count.

> In the life sciences there are limits to what researchers are allowed to do.

And yet we're sitting here questioning whether covid was man made and there's serious speculation human genome experimentation is active in some parts of the world...

> AI researchers and companies need to starting asking themselves: just because we can does it mean we should?

This just results in the researchers/countries who take the moral high road being left behind thus giving those who continue to do research a competitive advantage.

After listening to this, I feel annoyed at the folks in the "AI clones teen girl’s voice in $1M kidnapping scam: ‘I’ve got your daughter’" thread that was on the front page yesterday saying "ppfftt bullshit you'd need to be an idiot to fall for an AI voice" - Guess I'm an idiot. Like it or not, generative media is getting better and better by the day.

at this point this is now a great metric to measure originality by - if people can’t distinguish the real you from generative AI you it just means you’ve fallen into a Rut or never had much nee to say anyway.

How does that make any sense when AI can be made to say literally anything?
