This Voice is Entirely AI...

I have a theory about this generative AI

I'm loving this fairly new MKBHD. Not just reviewing new phones/tech products but actually getting talking about current tech events and news

[jodykurdi]

There are consequences to saying the N word.

Lol just wanna say how this man has been teaching me all things tech since I was like 13, now I’m 23 just graduated college with economics degree!! Thanks MB!

[halkon]

Marques sounds genuinely nervous in this video, very effective

[TechPhD]

Imagine the world in 20 years, Marques looking back at this video and going "heh, I can't imagine I actually used to sit and talk in front of a camera"

[kustoo]

The technology is moving fast and this is pretty wild.

Dolly Parton is banking on AI to be able to perpetuate her legacy. She was written so many songs that she will not be able to record them all in her remaining lifetime. She has also recorded a sound database which a model can be trained on her voice from.

With regards to detecting a fraud it will be increasingly difficult, but with regards to replacing the original artist, I think we have to remember that the artist is more than just their voice (unless it isn't, like those who just sing others' songs, in which case maybe gg?)

This is another topic that's been explored in some early sci-fi's, even about celebrities signing off their likeness in a way where they're no longer needed in person, but never would I have imagined it to come this soon and slide into our DMs this casually lol

I was so nervous the entire video, waiting for him to tell us that his own voice was really an AI dub. Now I can finally exhale.

A friend of mine is suffering from ALS and he recently lost his ability to speak. He used AI to synthesize a version of his voice and it was so real I literally wept when I heard his voice again.

At first I was thinking your entire voice for this was AI generated and you were 'lip syncing' throughout but I was over thinking my expectation of a crazy twist haha. But yes that song is crazy. I'm shocked how fast AI has developed in the past 1-2 years.

[abhirajbhokare]

Plot Twist: MKBHD's voice, this vid., The app, YouTube, and even the browser from which you opened YouTube is AI generated and to put a cherry on top, maybe we are in a simulation.

[randomfrankp]

Maybe AI can generate a new System of a Down album since I’ve been waiting nearly 20 years 😅

[stove]

Any tool designed to detect AI is a training tool for the next generation of AI to improve. That's literally captcha

[muscle_car_guy]

This can be pretty scary, especially if it was used maliciously. Say for example if it was used in a fraud call to try and replicate a family members voice.

[brightnarteh]

I came across your work a few years ago, but I didn't really pay attention to it. Now, man, you blow my mind with the knowledge you have been imparting to us on a regular basis. keep going, bro!

[justin.booth.]

The thing about good detection is that it is literally the fuel for better fakery. There's an entire class of machine learning called generative adverserial networks where two models are trained against each other, one to produce something and one to detect fakes. Any tools released to detect these things would be a stepping stone for them to get better, and thus there will always be a continual arms race between them until something breaks. Up until now it's always broken on the side of the generator, but what happens when it breaks on the side of the discriminator?

[ToesDownWithBass]

scary part is, scammers could potentially record your voice, and use it to create an AI program that can respond in real time, and use it to talk to other people you know to steal your information or manipulate them.

[steriz]

To think 12 months ago chatgpt was announced, and now ai is already a threat for civilisation is insane

[OswaldChisala]

I like how you brought back the Jay-Z instrumental at the end. Super subtle reminder to go check it out.
