I just listened to this AI generated audiobook and if it didn’t say it was AI, I’d have thought it was human-made. It has different voices, dramatization, sound effects… The last I’d heard about this tech was a post saying Stephen Fry’s voice was stolen and replicated by AI. But since then, nothing, even though it’s clearly advanced incredibly fast. You’d expect more buzz for something that went from detectable as AI to indistinguishable from humans so quickly. How is it that no one is talking about AI generated audiobooks and their rapid improvement? This seems like a huge deal to me.
There are also a few AI sung songs out there that are pretty good. Most of them sound pretty Autotuny, but to some extent, that can be a style. Aura, by Ghost, is a good example. If I didn’t know it was ai, I would just think it was autotune.
Isn’t Ghost and Pals just vocaloid? If I’m thinking of the right ghost(the one who’s songs get used in fandom animation videos). That’s already been a thing for a while.
That song specifically uses Solaria, which markets itself as “AI” but I’ll admit I’m not 100% sure that isn’t just marketing https://www.eclipsedsounds.com/product-page/solaria-synthesizer-v-ai
