This is really cool. It's a text-to-speech and the gist seems to be that they synthesize it from only a little audio. The results are clearly synthetic and need work. However what's cool is that there are a ton of characters (from popular shows and video games) and there are useful statistics like inferred emotion (which is also in the output). Honestly it's a big problem how a lot of AIs are like "black boxes" where…

You can fine tune GPT-3

This is unrelated but what's with the fascination with HN users and My Little Pony? I've noticed this on a lot of posts in the past few months.

A lot of people in tech circles have a sexual fixation on the show and its characters.

Interesting how it seems like there's little correlation between source sample-size and quality. e.g. the Portal Sentry turret at 1.5min input vs the 100+ minutes of the narrator from Stanly Parable which sounded like auto-tune had a stroke.

It's basically the same as unironic appreciation of various child-targeted-but-adult-friendly 'slice of life' anime, just more incongruous-seeming because of the 'pony' thing.

Much of it depends on refinement work on each specific model. Try the Daria voices, for example, which are easy to get results with that sound like they came straight out of the show.

GPT-3 can be quite adaptive given prompt engineering and the uploading of sample files.

Have you used GPT-3 with any of the methods mentioned in the docs?

I’ve seen that GPT-3 can produce quite starkly different results when prompted differently and when samples have been uploaded.

Fine tuning of GPT3 models is available via their public API. Costs credits, and you need to get their permission to use it in an actual application, but it’s not locked in a lab.
