Yandex browser does the most impressive version of this and for free but only to Russian I believe, its quite amazing it does appropriate different voices and follows the correct intonation for everyone, just takes a few seconds for a YT video.

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?
No.
Lets ask the influencers, the twitch celebs, the podcasters id they would prefer to shovel horse crap, or play with their e-device all day.
And to be completely fair, the manufacturing jobs may be gone because elected leaders were told it was OK export the vast majority of those jobs (millions) abroad, where labor doesn't have govt benefits or red tape. This makes new jobs go to foreigners instead of staying stateside.
So, we all save a few pennies on each item made in china and sold on Amazon, at the price of nuking all US craftsmanship and artisans.

It's not like it's mindless drudgery either. Losing as little as possible in translation while fitting within the constraints of subtitles (people can only read so fast) can be very challenging. And decent dubbing tries to approximately match the mouth movements, which puts further constraints on the translation and often requires creative text changes. There is a point about industry size (not that many countries du…
Translation work is often associated with horrible working conditions and poor pay. It definitely fits OP's description of "jobs that crush the human spirit into oblivion." This might not be the case if you're a renowned translator of famous literature, but that is not representative of the majority of translators.
I would pay a lot for a tool that removes the freaking laugh track from videos. I just physically can't watch them. I wanted to watch the Blackadder series, but I couldn't even get through one episode.
If you can train an instrument model on laugh tracks Demucs should do that.
Unlike other methods of automation, AI is replacing human beings too fast. And before you say, "new jobs will be created" -- look at history. After the computer, new jobs have been created, but what kind of jobs? Every year, we are becoming more entwined in wage slavery as the wealth accumulates at the top and jobs become more meaningless. So, no, new jobs will not be created, except the kind of jobs that crush the h…
I agree with the point about "wealth accumulates at the top" though. Maybe Karl Marx was right about a thing or 2. Maybe the distribution of wealth should not fall into the hand of non-elected corporations. Whatever it is, it should be determined by a democratic process and not some "market mechanism" that is actually just arbitrary algorithms optimized for metrics no actual human cares about.

Who's upset here about the hordes of horse manure cleaners that lost their jobs due to the advent of cars? Does anyone miss the stench of a 1800s street in the summer heat? No. Lets ask the influencers, the twitch celebs, the podcasters id they would prefer to shovel horse crap, or play with their e-device all day.

False dichotomy. Not every modern-day twitch celeb would be shoveling manure. And another false dichotomy: I was not arguing for either NOW or THE TIME before cars. And I wonder how many people would trade their modern influence job for shoveling manure in return for living in an area with cleaner air. Also, ask the question again to people living NEXT to tire factories that stink and whose only job is collecting garbage NOW like bottles from trash because they don't have enough education to get a proper job.
Besides, I am one of those "influencers" -- not exactly on Twitch, but a full-time content creator. And I WOULD go back to those times.
Why is it that every time I bring up the dangers of technology, some techie HAS to bring up cars versus manure shovelers, as if that settles every argument about the dangers of technology? Rather intellectually stifled, I feel. And rejecting technology doesn't mean going back to the way things WERE; rather it means making changes NOW to go to a NEW future that has less technology.

Huh, if it's good enough, movies/TV shows dubbed with AI-clone of the original voice would be great (if we can ignore the ethics of using the actor's voice and the loss of work for the dubbing companies and actors). For example here's how weird Friends is in German: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCoNSZV--z0 . Or Italian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wO5qTzvyQ1s Can AI detect the emotional tone of sentences yet,…
This is a shocking parenthetical.
Oh 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.
