Normally I want basically everything to be open source. But as soon as I saw that audio restyling demo, I began to feel concerned they may be open sourcing this. The model can take a sample speakers voice, new text to speak, and also a description of a new location (like a cathedral with many echoes, or other background noises) and produce a convincing new audio sample. This technology will present serious challenges for the verification of covertly recorded audio. It will of course ultimately become widespread but I’m not inherently bothered by the idea of slowing down its release. Giving researchers extra time to examine possible detection techniques seems helpful to me.
