The copyright laws around this are fascinating. They're adamant it must be non-commercial, they must be credited, and it can't be mixed with any other generated content. Meanwhile their content is exclusively derived from popular commercial products. Oh and they also make money via Patreon donations.

I dunno. Feels a little gross to me. Eventually there is going to be a big copyright case about a model trained with copyrighted material. I have no idea how that will be resolved. Or maybe there will simply be new laws passed to make it either explicitly ok or explicitly not ok.

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.

“Make money”? The creator loses several thousands of dollars a month hosting the site, and it’s done for free. The Patreon donations are all voluntary and only offer a pittance to the developer.

I highly suggest reading into the project first. The Wiki article I linked before (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15.ai) answers all of your questions about copyright infringement.

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…

Oh god, 50 shades of SpongePants. The future is wild in ways I never imagined. Star Trek style holodecks in what, 15 years? So, creepy thought: should we be recording audio of our parents, so we can still "hear from them" once in a while after they die? People are going to want to reconstruct their lost loved ones with AI. This project seems to imply you only need an hour or so of audio.

After my dad died, we found that he had recorded every phone call he had with us. I thought about doing this combined with text generation to create plausible prompts but never got the guts to go through with it. He wouldn't care if I had done it, but it wouldn't ease the guilt from years of sighs and rolling my eyes when he called at always the wrong times.
