Being able to do voice samples "even with small samples" is mind-blowing. Frightening in terms of the possibilities, but mind-blowing.

What I hope all these emulators include is some kind of digital signature (like what Adobe said they'd use) that would detect manipulated audio and the real person's voice.

I mean, emulation seems benign for game-related memes and similar media where any player can open their copy and verify what a voice actor actually said. Other scenarios? Maybe not so much...

Interesting info, thanks! I figured back then that the required length of audio samples would be greatly reduced over time. Honestly, with tech's fast advancements, it's less of a surprise and more of what's expected.

Concerning Nixon's voice: 7 years ago, Adobe showcased a program called Audio Manipulator that could emulate anyone's voice and speech patterns. It only required a 20 minute audio sample of that person's speech.

It's no surprise that the development of this kind of audio replication was going to stick around, and now it's being added to deep fake videos. Interesting tech... and scary at the same time.

When I visited the video I thought, "Oh, 52 minutes? I'll just watch a bit." But here I am an hour later after watching the whole thing. :p

Brad and his brother began something brilliant, and it's a joy to see that Brad is still going at it - still with the same infectious joy and energy! It's amazing seeing how lush Dunbar Spring has become.
