Really? I have a lot of success with bash and ffmpeg scripts. I don't even try to write them myself these days. I don't do JSON stuff much but either function calling or grammar based sampling should be able to force correct formatting if the issue is syntax. ImageGen seemed like a solved problem to me with stable diffusion about 6 months ago or so, between LoRAs and the tons of models availble on sites like civitas.. SOTA Text to speech/voice cloning is scary good, but it's only available via SaaS like 11labs (perhaps just them). One interesting weekend they allowed anyone to clone a voice (required only maybe 10-60s of audio) to say anything I made Bob Ross read Neuromancer using 60 seconds of fuzzy audio from youtube, but 4chan made something like 20k fake audio recordings on vocaroo of everything horrible and hilarious you can think of. Then they shut that off for good reason on Monday. There are some cool applications there. I watched an hour video about the talkshow wars between Leno and Conan and i couldn't figure out what the voice was but it sounded like a smart old guy, apparently it was a weird clone of Biden. Which means anyone can now make YouTube content with any kind of voice. Which is bad for impersonation, but good if, say, you don't like the sound of your voice and want to go for a different one (maybe an old timey radio broadcaster) What definitely has become shittier is the quality of gpt4. But that's not an AI issue, that's OpenAI being OpenAI.
