    Maybe I can finally achieve my dream of a “documentary” where David Attenborough narrates a bunch of construction vehicles as if they were dinosaurs.

    Is this new? Streamers and youtubers have been using David Attenborough ai voice for months. I doubt any of them are authorized.

      I believe the novelty here is that the AI is deciding what to say about him on its own. It’s not just reading a script.

          He posted the source code. It’s taking a picture, passing that to GPT which is instructed to output text in Attenborough’s style then that’s fed to the voice deep fake tool.

            Ah okay. Well maybe GPT 4 is better than I thought. I’m kind of happy to be wrong, it’s really impressive if it’s real.

              Yeah it really is very impressive.

              I’m having good everyday success with what seem like trivial things but honestly have been game changers for me.

              My favourite so far is that I got it to make a nutritionally complete meal plan for a week for our family, turn it into a shopping list then order it by area of the supermarket.

              That last bit was the real win. It also turned out to be very cheap by comparison to our normal shop.

              I’m loving the AI revolution so far. Stuff like this is a fun way to show just how far it can go.

          Yeah, maybe, but I’m inclined to give this one the benefit of the doubt because there’s a substantial delay as all the moving parts in that python script work together. He finished drinking from his cup and put it down before it finished scripting and speaking the description of the act.
