Are there open source projects like this?
I can get about 90% of the quality of 15.ai currently. I think I could surpass 15.ai but not without some help.
I get nothing but "Error code 422: Server error", even on input "Hello", in FF, Safari and Chrome.

Eh, this technology currently falls very squarely into the category of "almost good enough that I could use it for a creative project, but not nearly good enough that you're going to be able to convince me that the results aren't generated." I'm not primarily interested about the dollars, I'm interested in allowing communities to do creative things. I think people are looking at this tech like it's only going to be u…
You are looking at the current implementation and not thinking about the implication. One, this tech absolutely could be used to fool someone. Not everyone will be listening with a critical ear. Played back over a phone or injecting a phrase or two in otherwise spoken samples will fool many people. I guarantee you someone will be using this to make their own MLP episodes on YouTube specifically designed to scare chil…
The security implications of this kind of tech are scary. Going forward it will become really easy to reproduce the voice of anyone! It seems not a lot of training data is required to achieve reasonable results (e.g. Spong Bob is just 27min of voice, Half Life Black Mesa Announcer is just 1.9min!!). This stuff could be easily leveraged for scams and deep fakes (along with deep learning models that could also tweak li…
- We have had perfect image manipulation capabilities for quite some time now. We have had written text manipulation capabilities for hundreds of years.
- People will continue to believe what they believe, whether there is deep fake video and audio or not.

Megalomania, always a great excuse. AI and ML users are massively benefiting from open source but too often refuse to release their data. It's like we're back in the middle ages and alchemy is back in style.
Judging by how the model and site are put together, I think this is some software engineer's hobby project. Not wanting to spill their secrets doesn't make them a megalomaniac for the same reason being a magician doesn't make one a megalomaniac.
I was talking about ML in general, not just this project. See OpenAI and their latest release for example: no public product, no trained model. Just alchemy.
