The issue is Job's training data is likely 99% his public "presentation voice" audio -- cadence, inflection, emphasis from public remarks at Apple events, commencement addresses, shareholder meetings, etc -- which OF COURSE sounds unnatural in regular conversation.
Meanwhile Rogan has million hours of regular conversation audio to learn from.
- vanattab 4y agoWould the fact that Joe's data is more standardized and produced the same way. Job's data is likely a mix of different volumes, echo levels, processing have an effect
- abledon 4y agoone could hire a _really good_ steve jobs voice actor to generate more training data for the AI algorithm?
- ipaddr 4y agoAt that point using them to create the exact audio would be easier
- bongobingo1 4y agoYeah but what VC is interested in funding /that/?
- olalonde 4y agoHumans are expensive though. If you have a lot of speech to record, it might be cheaper to use the human to train the AI and then let the AI finish the rest.
- flir 4y agoThen you could just hire the actor to read Jobs' part directly? Hiring people to train their replacements seems off to me.
- brushfoot 4y agoThere's also Respeecher, which lets you realistically "puppet" someone else's voice.
- cpeterso 4y agoWhat non-presentation source material do Steve Jobs voice actors train with? Seems like that same source material can be used to train the AI voice.
- EA 4y agoOne million hours = 114.2 years
- jenny91 4y agoNot sure if you meant "million hours" as hyperbole; but that'd be about 114 years of non-stop conversation. If there's ~2000 episodes of his podcast and he's talked in a bunch of other place too, it's probably less than 5000 hours.
