AI for video and voice generation is being largely rejected by the public, and for good reasons. While LLMs have the power to profoundly change our lives, I find myself second-guessing every piece of content I come across on Instagram Reels. I just don’t know who made it, what their true intent was, or if they used genAI.
This constant doubt makes me wonder about the current push from AI companies. My theory is that they are going full throttle on video content because they believe it generates maximum exposure to showcase their models. I believe this is short-sighted. I hope we continue to reject end-to-end generation of video and voice content.
While I love that my personal agent can talk back to me, I cannot stand what an undisclosed AI-generated voice does to my mind subconsciously.
@animeupdates This is a huge step forward. Protecting a person's voice as part of their identity is so important, especially for voice actors and creators. Glad to see this happening.
In 2017 I dubbed a Ted Talk into Farsi using my own voice so my mom could watch it.
Then I hired an elite voice talent and uploaded a Spanish version.
It hit 3.8 million views in 60 days.
That accident became @Unilingo.
I WILL voice a Black Panther.
I WILL voice a character that inspires people.
I WILL voice a beloved anime character.
I WILL voice an iconic video game character.
I WILL voice an entire audiobook series.
I WILL voice alongside my VA role models.
I WILL make this happen.
