But at the same time, there are tons of positive uses for things like this too. Imagine being a creator who wants to share their interests with the world, but hates their own voice or doesn't have the confidence to speak on camera. You could make a lot of people's lives better by creating content for YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Instagram, etc, but you wouldn't be brave enough to otherwise.
Something like this could be incredible for those people. A natural sounding alternative to text to speech for people who dislike how they sound.
And it could also be used to anonymise people in documentaries about serious topics (like say, organised crime) without actors, letting people bring the atrocities of said folks to light without need to trust others or the risk of being found out.
Other examples could include vTubers, artists creating characters for TV shows, films and video games, etc.
All technology can be abused, and sadly with how humanity acts, like will by a small percentage of the population. But for every person abusing it for dubious purposes, there are dozens or hundreds or thousands of others who can make the world better with it.
- ChildOfChaos 4y agoI think a great tool for this would be a cross over voice changer AI, so you could still speak naturally but then sound like the model voice, that way it would be a little less soulless.
- CM30 4y agoHonestly, that would be incredible for so many purposes! vTubers and amateur media creators would love to be able to just speak and have it translated into their voice of their characters in a more natural way! Would also be an interesting one for theme parks, since it could led the costumed characters speak in the voices of the relevant characters rather than remaining silent, which would add a lot to the sense of immersion there too. (something like the website on the other hand could let the animatronics, CGI characters and others hold conversations with guests too, which would also be neat)
- didericis 4y agoYes, I’m sure there are many positive uses as well, I just have a hard time seeing how that’s not going to be outweighed by the bad given the current environment. There’s going to need to be some sort of social/cultural/technological adaptation when the negative starts hitting with force to curb it towards positive uses. People need to start thinking about mitigation strategies now.
