This Artificially Intelligent Speech Generator Can Fake Anyone’s Voice The human voice, with all its subtlety and nuance, is proving to be an exceptionally difficult thing for computers to emulate. Using a powerful new algorithm, a Montreal-based AI startup has developed a voice generator that can mimic virtually any person’s voice, and even add an emotional punch when necessary. The system isn’t perfect, but it heralds a future when voices, like photos, can be easily faked. When Siri, Alexa, or our GPS talk to us, it’s fairly obvious that we’re being spoken to by a machine. That’s because virtually every text-to-speech system on the market relies on a pre-recorded set of words, phrases, and utterances (recorded from voice actors), which are then strung together in Frankenstein-like fashion to produce complete words and sentences. The end result is a vocal delivery that sounds distinctly uninspiring, robotic, and at times laughable. This approach to voice synthesis also means that we’re stuck listening to the same pre-recorded, monotonous voice over and over again. In an effort to inject some life in the automated voices that come out of our apps, AI startup Lyrebird has developed a voice-imitation algorithm that can mimic any person’s voice, and read any text with a predefined emotion or intonation. Incredibly, it can do this after analyzing just a few dozen seconds of pre-recorded audio. In an effort to promote its new tool, Lyrebird produced several audio samples using the voices of Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Hillary Clinton.

Just peachy great! Now couple it with the tech show below and and you have a completely FAKE EVERYTHING! We already have enough trouble discerning truth from lies and with this combined tech it will be almost impossible to do so. Tech has been around for years to change backgrounds too so expect to see stuff like a pedo-potus fricking 4 year old little boys. The potential is there right now and mark my words, sicker minds than mine will figure out how to do it.
And they'll put it on YouTube!

I think I'm going to return to writing about the Kingdom, no holding back this time, because we are all going to need it....desperately.
