I appreciate the intent, and I understand that many people will do the wrong thing so this was probably an attempt to get such folks to actually read and adhere to the TOS, but the obnoxious consent dialog with a mandatory countdown turned me off. It’s probably not effective, either. On desktop, maybe I’d open dev tools and remove it. On mobile, I won’t be bothered. I hate that this is what the web has become and I c…

Weird, I read through the text because I care about how I’m allowed to use the things people are giving me – and by the time I got to the Accept button, it was enabled.

Same here. And I figured if a hobby project had such a disclaimer it would be important and so I was interested to read what the rules were. But how spoiled and precious are we all today when we can’t even read a few paragraphs and accept some terms to be able to try something cool for free!

The disclaimer is a little ironic considering the site owner doesn’t own the model (MIT does) and doesn’t own the training data (the various shows and games do)

I don't get it.

The author took someone else's IP as training data, trained a model on someone else's compute, and then gets extremely bent out of shape when others use the model without crediting them?

I guess the creator added that specifically for the YouTubers and TikTokers who failed to credit the site: https://twitter.com/fifteenai/status/1522289980420337666

Interesting how it seems like there's little correlation between source sample-size and quality. e.g. the Portal Sentry turret at 1.5min input vs the 100+ minutes of the narrator from Stanly Parable which sounded like auto-tune had a stroke.

I think it's because the underlying(?) TTS can't really portrait how the narrator speaks, which is very exaggerating and highly varying in tempo. The key idea of the app should be that we can easily transform "voice AND emotional tone" of the underlying voice.

This is from the MIT license, which is the school he's doing research for (emphasis mine):

His TOS is literally the antithesis to the free nature of the MIT license :)
