One interesting application of tech like this is to produce story mods for games that still sound like they're using the original voice actors.
Is it possible to create a voice changer with these kind of AI?
It would basically involve a two-step approach where the first model extracts text and intonation and the second model synthesises the target voice.
I have a sudden urge to want to deep fake Steven Hawking's voice. I wonder both how the deep fake tech would handle Stephen Hawking as an input, and I'm just realizing that he just missed the survival threshold for being able to use this tech.
Hawking turned down the use of new voices! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_H._Klatt
I also read some weird teardown of all of the chips and technology used to synthesize that voice a while back and it was very interesting. I'd like to read it again and archive it.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
This got me thinking that it would be nice to have some sort of recursive processing in which if you say, that Flanders is personalizing Obama, then when you quote "My fellow Americans", you should hear an attempt of Flanders saying that the Obama's way. A way to detect fake voices, I guess :P
I’m guessing what you basically want is two switches: - simulate tone and timbre - simulate cadence and mannerisms. Now I wonder if AI can do this or if this is a perfect example of where AI falls short?
It's worth mentioning that one similar site is 15.ai[1] [1] https://15.ai
15.ai was the original, in a lot of regards. I used to chat with the dude on 4chan, he was a genuinely intelligent (albeit rather socially awkward) guy, and a bit of a perfectionist at that. The downside was that there was always downtime and a few hidden servers floating around. The upside was... almost perfect voice synthesis, even a year ago.
I must be getting old.
I’ve noticed on any of those deep fake sites you can’t find Dwayne Johnson the Rock. I wonder if there is a legal reason because surely he is super famous and would be there. I’ve searched multiple ones if there is one I missed it.
