First, OpenAI offered a tool that allowed people to create digital images simply by describing what they wanted to see. Then, it built similar technology that generated full-motion video like something from a Hollywood movie.

Now, it has unveiled technology that can recreate someone’s voice.

The high-profile A.I. start-up said on Friday that a small group of businesses was testing a new OpenAI system, Voice Engine, that can recreate a person’s voice from a 15-second recording. If you upload a recording of yourself and a paragraph of text, it can read the text using a synthetic voice that sounds like yours.

I swear these fuckers are just out to make a buck off of human misery.

TortoiseTTS can already do this on your local system, if you've a relatively-new Nvidia card, and probably others can as well.

Can't hold back technology, just adapt to it.

The only way to adapt to this in the long run is the complete abolition of capitalism. It's fundamentally incompatible with all forms of labor becoming obsolete.
