A partnership with OpenAI will let podcasters replicate their voices to automatically create foreign-language versions of their shows.

    Honestly, as long as the person whose voice it is gives full permission it’s probably one great use for AI.

    That being said, you could just hire people who actually know the language to translate.

      I am for hiring people who know the language and the target audience. Mainly to avoid AI taking away possible jobs and to avoid something literally translated that either doesn’t make sense or ends up being offensive by accident.

        You will never ever in any case be able to stop technology from progressing. Instead of fearing the loss of jobs, how about making sure that we can properly handle and integrate AI into our society with everyone benefitting from it?

        Stop the defeatist attitude, get politically active and help kick conservatives and fascists into the ditch where they belong.

          As long as money’s involved, there’s no way AI tech benefits society.

          That kinda shit will only benefit the wealthy and the owning classes.

            Might as well go back to the fields the with all the other Luddites then.

            We live in a capitalist society, every bit of progress benefits the rich first. It’s always been like that, it has nothing to do with the AI part.

            Unless, you know, it’s properly regulated and stuff. Regulation works through laws. Laws are passed by the government. The government is elected by the people.

            So get the proper people into government.

              That’s naive and delusional. At least in the USA, there’s no chance of such regulations coming about, regardless of who is put in power. The RNC and DNC both are far more swayed by the money of those eliminating their work force than the plight of the worker. That isn’t changing any time soon.

              I’ll eat my hat if they pass a law that actually protects workers and bans use of AI to replace human jobs.

                And now refer back to my first comment, let that defeatist attitude go, and work on getting those things changed. If you were right, we’d still be living under kings and owning classical slaves ;)

                I’m not saying it’s easy or quick, I’m saying that your thinking makes it reality because you just accept getting assfucked… Which is exactly “their” goal.

              The government is elected by the people.

              And controlled by the wealthy. You don’t really think your local representative cares what you think, do you? Because that would be laughably naive.

              They care what their lobbyists and major donors think.

                First of all that is a very simplistic and therefore incomplete view of the things. Second of all, that’s why you work on getting people there who do care and want to fix that.

          Uh, no. You are not all powerful and abusive technology is not an inevitability we have to submit to. We’ll never submit to garbage that steals shit from people.

            The AI doesn’t steal anything, the people creating it do. This is something that can and should and must be regulated.

            To add my personal opinion to that, I don’t think there is a problem with models being trained on all possible data, but it must not be used by a single company to profit some few people. It must be available to anyone and everyone, since it learned from anyone and everyone. We all learn from others and AI is no different - the problem is in the centralization and further abuse of its power.
