Raiden Warned About AI Censorship - MGS2 Codec Call (2023 Version)

The Colonel warns Raiden about the plans to use AI to censor the Internet.

An experiment in creative writing and AI speech synthesis, inspired by the famous "Selection for Societal Sanity" (S3) codec conversation from Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.

"And it will be monitored..."

I used ElevenLabs AI for the voice synthesis. Ironically, they recently mentioned on their twitter that they have the ability to detect if a voice clip was generated with their service, and which user generated it, in order to ban users who "abuse" the service. They also just put the voice cloning feature behind a paywall for the same reason, so everything you generate is tied to your credit card info.

This isn't a meme. It's a warning

[logy]

Remember kids, under no circumstances should you completely trust your government.

[BabuBabu-ipoh]

The fact that even the voices were AI generated and sounded identical to the original VA's drives home the whole message

[jude_]

there's something poetic about this being done with AI voices

[Modeus.]

can't wait for my kids to find this video in a niche dark web forum, and go "damn, the people in 2023 really predicted how 2044 would be like."

[Peter_]

I like how this video is basically warning about itself.

[heartstone]

This is both amazing and terrifying. It really feels like a MGS dialogue.

[Huggbees]

Damn man, seeing this cutscene back in 2001 really blew my mind. Kojima was ahead of his time.

[RedStar]

Thanks for vindicating the most frightening cutscene in a videogame by making it 10 times more prophetic.

[plumdowner]

Only a year old, and it's already starting to age like wine.

When you are panicking for the first 3 mins whether this is real or just AI generated speech while the colonel talks about digitization of human life is both scary and a certified kojima moment.

Apparently reposting this video in comments sections is in violation of community guidelines. IT HAS BEGUN.

[sooperdude]

You best start believing in Cyberpunk dystopias.

[maxducks]

This is absolutely incredible. Fantastic work. Little joke bits aside, this is perfect Kojima material. The fact that it’s more fully realized now because of the AI voices just brings it all together. Whether it has the same degree of Kojima’s tendency for prophecy remains to be seen…

[aortaplatinum]

I don't see how people think this is funny, this is soul-crushingly terrifying

[microangels]

He predicted the Taylor Swift AI censorship.

[asdasddas]

This video plays in a loop in my mind every time I see the latest developments in AI

This part of the description is wonderful. We already live in a fucking world that this fictional MGS2 dialogue talks about.
