Welcome to the new era of fakes and scams beyond our wildest imagination !
This aera is barely new. Look at how old some of the projects are: https://github.com/underlines/awesome-ml/blob/master/audio-a... The thing that changes is the complexity to run it. I was training my wife's voice and my voice for fun and needed 15min of audio and trained on my 3080 for 40 minutes. Now it's 2 Minutes.
I had to phone my bank, which is one of the bigger players in the UK high street market, a couple of days ago. They're still encouraging me to enroll in their idiotic "my voice is my password" programme. At this stage in the evolution of AI, that feels simply negligent.
Fidelity Investments just did something even worse ~a week ago - It asked me to reply to a few questions, then announced that I'd just been enrolled in it's voice identification program (or whatever they call it). Now I've got Just Another Item on my ToDo list, to get that undone. Gawd, does every company promote it's stupidest people to management?
Yes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilbert_principle
Ironically, this is the place where they can do the least damage.

It is open, just not by your definition. You can view, use and modify the code to your hearts content. Sounds pretty open to me!

You can’t. Scammers who don’t care about noncommercial licenses sure can!
Additionally, it only really hurts small businesses & startups as the big companies all have teams that can make their own version or pay for 3rd party apis for easily. So yeah, us startup folks won’t like this license much as it basically is aimed at us the most.
Either way, congrats with the tech. It does look very impressive!
Welcome to the new era of fakes and scams beyond our wildest imagination !
Elevenlabs has been around for a while now. Genie has been out of the bottle for a bit, and the sooner the notion that anything digital can be easily faked seeps into the wider consciousness the better. Trust nothing.
At least for now there's too much lag to do a real time conversation with a cloned voice.
Speech to Text > LLM Response > Generate Audio
If that time can shrink to subsecond, I think there'll be madness. (Specifically thinking of romance scammers)

Wonderful company, not a scam at all: https://docs.myshell.ai/tokenomics
From the github readme: “MyShell reserves the ability to detect whether an audio is generated by OpenVoice, no matter whether the watermark is added or not.” Call me skeptical…
