      What if instead of doing text to voice, you do voice to voice. Get a cheaper voice actor or just some guy, record the lines in the right inflection with the right pauses and stuff, and then it turns into the VA that you want. Basically like a deepfake. Do they do that yet?

        I don't know about that, translator wages tanked when machine translation became mainstream about 10 years ago, because most "translator" positions disappeared and became "post-editor" positions instead. which is natural, really. it's the same way in some factories: the robot does the hard work, you just have to make sure its output is up to the quality standards.

          There's more content that needs to be translated/post-edited than there are translators available. So its not a problem of machine learning translators, its a problem of capital market not being utilized. The bottleneck might just be one company or small company controls the right to one type of medium that fired 50% of the translators. Ofcourse in a rational market, you'd have another player setup a competitor and translate the same amount of work with same AI and with 50% of the staff that was laid off, simply because the work is never done and is endless.

              I think that more importantly, like the first poster pointed out, those AI tools serve a niche that simply can't be served by professionals because of cost, availability, or other constraints. Even when they are perfect, that's still not technically enough. You can say something naturally but the director's intent was that you sound kinda sick while saying it while your AI is only saying it as if happy. Or you can translate something perfectly verbatim but the point is to make it flow smoothly in the target language, so the correct approach is actually a rewrite that keeps the essence and the existence of a pun, but replaces the pun and thus the text (adverts especially need this, while localizations have different requirements).

        That's the opposite of how it works. The total amount of work to do is fixed, it doesn't magically expands (it does, but by negligible amounts). If one VA can now do 10x the work, that's 9 VAs out of work.

                We don't get quality whatsoever. To this day, handcrafted knives are still infinitely better than massproduced, for just one example. You could also just look all around you at how everything is shitty and falling apart whenever you look at it funny.

                So it won't be another vr ar abortion? That shit died faster than dailup

                An AI winter is always possible. Previous ones were caused by overpromising and underdelivering, drying up investments. As ads and PR is ramping up to ludicrous levels, this could happen once again. However, it is a fact that since greedy layerwise pretraining, deep learning has broken new ground and opened new possibilities everywhere. Things like hand writing recognition, facial identification, and machine translation, even computer vision as a whole, will never be the same as before deep learning became big, for example, so even the practical impact of the tech is obvious.
                But all it takes is a momentary plateau (real or imagined) and it will all crash down due to the whiplash effect caused by overpromising or similar effects.

                To literally everyone? Blade lasts longer, can take on more of a beating, can be sharpened better, shaft lasts longer. etc. It's an objective fact. Pure quantity, no quality. The only reason handmade knives aren't way cheaper is precisely because all the money went to quantity-only bullshit. If we had used any tech at all to improve quality or speed up the work on quality items, they would be much cheaper and would also be much faster to make (due to competition).

                Meaningless when mass produced blades can last decades, generations, even hundreds of years. 100 year old kitchen knifes mass produced back then can be found and refurbished with bit of grinding/sharpening today.

                >To literally everyone?
                Given that labor/expertise to make finely tuned blades is scarce, given the cost in time/materials of producing a single blade is extremely prohibitive, your claim makes no sense. Why would a ma/pa pay hundreds on a handcrafted knife from some rando vs what they can buy from walmart for $5-10 that would last for generations?

                the black box architecture of ml models IS the chinese room. the most recent models are as good as they are simply because they were fed with an immense amount of data for training. even if they'll get 10000000x more training data, they'll still be chinese rooms

                I kind of doubt that. If you were able to fully simulate the function of a human brain you would have "real" intelligence. The major hurdles are obviously the understanding of brain function required in order to simulate it, plus the compute power required to run the simulation, but I don't see why either of those would be insurmountable given enough time and study. Sure, I don't think ChatGPT is going to develop "real" intelligence ever, but considering how intelligence results of the physical objects which are human brains I don't see how at the very least simulating a brain would eventually would be completely impossible.

                Thats a meme. I don't think its the case at all. And even if such were the case, we can trade latency/time for compute. IMO, human intelligence level computations can be done under <100 w of compute power with current level $200 mid tier GPUs. But real time is another matter.

                it's all speculative, but some argue that our consciousness can only exist because of quantum mechinics. while eventually we'll be able to simulate all the neurons and their connection, there is a chance that it still won't work as a human brain

                >fully simulate the function of a human brain you would have "real" intelligence
                We dont need to "fully" simulate human brains. Just like we dont need to simulate how feathers/wings work on birds to fly airplanes and rockets. All we need is core understanding of fluid dynamics, which is not even related to biology of a bird.

                And really, intelligence isnt going to be had by simulating biology, its going to be had by understanding the core functions of a brain. 1) input 2) processing 3) memory 4) feedback loop of processing (both for sensory/memory) 5) discriminator system based upon some simple heuristics (i.e brightness of colors, s/n quality of sounds, electrical output from neurons(feelings of touch), processing compute load, etc) and most importantly, understanding of the field in which it operates in 6) consciousness field. Its not a real field, but its a conceptual framework for the mind to be aware of the working space, a sort of a relational system in reference to the system/body/brain and its surroundings.

                Chat GPU has 1) input, 2) processing, it has very limited 3) memory, extremely limited 4) feedback loop, limited 5) discriminator systems but no 6) understanding of its relation to the user or itself.

                Its all a matter of improving the lower 4 parts to get a fully sentient AIs. Memory is the easiest to do, we memory space is abundant for a single localized system, but its not utilized by the system effectively. Feedback loop is also doable but needs to work. Discriminator system is very limited right now too and needs a generalized heuristics. And finally understanding of its own reference point in relation to others.
                All these functions augment one another and increase capabilities if one improves greatly.

            Diffusions date back from 1994 (and the modern version from 2015).
            Transformers are from 2017 but they're just the convnets with attention that everyone was using since 2013, just with the kernel reaching max size.
            Neural ODEs are the only exciting new thing, and while diffusions can be likened to neural ODEs and their current formulation is based on this, the score-based paradigm is more powerful and equivalent to it, despite being older. Neural ODEs were 2018.

Even disregarding that, I don't think you even know what your own argument is anymore. First you tried to claim that the draw of this type of music was the meaning behind it, then you tried to claim it was about the effort put into the lyrics, and now you're saying that it has nothing to do with either of those and is instead the effect of a controversy about the artist himself, not the music.

    I've been keen on AI voice cloning since around 2018. The only company that had passable quality at the time was respeecher and they charged per conversion and required that you get the permission of the person whose voice you were cloning. I'm not surprised that unrestricted voice cloning would come but I wasn't expecting it until 2024-25.

    >if you can't afford the fricking peanuts most indie voice actors work for you shouldn't have voice work for your mod
    Really? That's what this temper tantrum is over? Voices in a mod? The things people make and distribute for free for the enjoyment of others? That already utilize assets and game engines they didn't create? I feel like even for someone who's anal as frick about the artist/AI issue, mods are one area where it's acceptable. It enables people who were already making something for free to make it even better.

    But for animes like Love Live, not so soon. Because seiyuus are waifus too.

    only games that would otherwise use synthesized voices. big games use voice actors for their name primarily and their talent second.

    my only problem with VA is if you want a voice file for free for private hobby reasons, you can't or its difficult to get hold of all because of ip protection.
    Otherwise i agree i wouldn't try to sell it, i'm not a scumbag.

    For independents, yeah but the voice acting industry itself is very pro union and tied to Hollywood israelites. Anything above a microphone in a closet won’t be going down any time soon.

    It's a never-ending cycle. It's always amusing seeing that "people" refuse to understand that all of us will be eventually replaced. It's natural for it to happen since humanity's discoveries and inventions will never stop. Changes happen. New lacks emerge. New jobs appear.

    theres people already uploading ai videos and its basically visual poop. Its not even appealling in the slightest, theres no hand behind it guiding the aesthetic and point.
    Even psychedelic animations in the past had some meaning behind it.

    the same thing happened when they automated much of the industrial jobs half a century ago. society will adapt and new industries will arise in the aftermath just as they always have.

            Now imagine those voice synthesizers existed before PC microphone was a thing. Just like people started to use MoCap, people would start to use voice actors once microphones are invented, despite voice synthesizers existing.

          It's much easier to just say something, than fiddle with all the parameters to get computer to say something with need speed, tempo, tone, expression, etc. Maybe AI voice changers will be a popular thing, but voice acting itself is much more practical then synthesizing voices from scratch.

              He's saying that a voice changer for yourself would be much more convenient than a synth whose delivery you then have to tune. Basically that audio that is to be converted is a nicer input to such a system than text with a bunch of hints on how exactly to say it.

              You still need to pay a person who does all the fiddling with synthesizer, which still would take longer than just making several takes in minutes.

    AI could kill audiobooks. Why pay more for audiobooks when you can get text files and have your AI read it to you? And in any voice you choose.
