I've been introduced recently to AI-generated line synthesizers via Youtube. Basically, you can get an AI to create a soundclip that sounds like a person of your choice. This is obviously something people have discussed in the context of faking evidence, but did you know people are using them to have the last four presidents play Call of Duty Zombies?

That... was certainly a thing I just listened to. Is that computer generated, or does someone just do a really good Alec Guinness impression?

Fake.

There's this new AI app that immitates voices based on just a few samples.

Supposedly finetuned for US accents so doesn't work that well for other ones.
