This one does dubbing, but is there an equivalent tool for subs?

#52Oh I made something similar but for Netflix! https://github.com/cubbK/dubbing_ai_netflix_client I want to learn swedish and because there are so few dubbed movies in Swedish I take the subtitles(Netflix is good at having subtitles in different languages) and text-to-speech it :)
How would you rate the quality of the dubs? Do you think it's usable for learning? Seems like you could end up with some quirky learnings.
Not OP, but I agree that this could lead to questionable learning outcomes, especially since Whisper isn’t that good for low-resource languages. It’s probably fine for languages like English/Spanish/Mandarin, though.

#53So uh, what's with AI products throwing out the gold standard in testing these claims.

#54Unlike other methods of automation, AI is replacing human beings too fast. And before you say, "new jobs will be created" -- look at history.

This is a fallacy called "Lump of labour fallacy" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lump_of_labour_fallacy ).
If it is such a fallacy, then why are there fewer and fewer options for those who don't want to be entrenched in technology?

What are you talking about? Many of us have tech jobs with much more comfort, creativity and autonomy than the jobs they displaced, and computerisation has made it much more practical for those who dare to strike out their own rather than needing wealthy family or friends before you can even begin to think of starting a business.

Strange submission to post this comment on. It's not like translating and dubbing videos is the highest form of labor.
Voice acting (dubbing) is acting, which is a "high form of labor". In some languages/countries, most of the dubbing is performed by a few extremely good voice actors.
I disagree. The actors performing the dubbing usually do an extremely poor job, and the space is infested by nepotism.

#57Is there an open source speech-to-speech model which retains intonation, cadence and delivery?

Um, jobs where someone under age 30 can be earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year programming them?

This is a subjective statement. If you disagree with it, counter it. Asking for a citation doesn't make sense here.
How is it subjective? Can't terms like "replacing" and "fast" be quantified by metrics related to rates of unemployment and adoption of AI systems for tasks previously manned by humans? I'm not saying the data is readily available, but I do see a route to objectively measuring this.
It's the word "too" that makes it subjective.

Transformer based AI is basically printing machines for the knowledge economy from existing labor patterns.
Nobody currently can say which patterns it cannot extract, hence "we always figured out new jobs" is ... challenged
