one could hire a _really good_ steve jobs voice actor to generate more training data for the AI algorithm?

  At that point using them to create the exact audio would be easier

    Yeah but what VC is interested in funding /that/?

    Humans 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.

  Then you could just hire the actor to read Jobs' part directly? Hiring people to train their replacements seems off to me.

    ethically questionable, but financially it makes some sense

    Then you'd need to hire the actor for every part. After enough training with the actor, you won't need to hire the actor anymore.

  There's also Respeecher, which lets you realistically "puppet" someone else's voice.

  What 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.
