Mona Lisa sample made my day. 😂

I'm dying at the mona Lisa one. The disconnect between what she's saying and her body language is crazy, while her lips match perfectly. Like you can tell something is wrong, but it's wrong in a way I haven't seen before.

While acknowledging the possibility of misuse, it's imperative to recognize the substantial positive potential of our technique. The benefits – such as enhancing educational equity, improving accessibility for individuals with communication challenges, offering companionship or therapeutic support to those in need, among many others – underscore the importance of our research and other related explorations. We are dedicated to developing AI responsibly, with the goal of advancing human well-being.

Given such context, we have no plans to release an online demo, API, product, additional implementation details, or any related offerings until we are certain that the technology will be used responsibly and in accordance with proper regulations.

I guess we need to thank all scammers for that. 🙄

On YouTube I subscribed to „There I ruined it“ - I’m sure with this technology they can also create music videos. 😄

[Stefan Oltmann]

Uh, I found the original audio source. 😄

But I have no idea where the picture comes from. 😉

I just can't comprehend why this technology needs to exist.

I hate to sound like a conspiracy guy but it would not surprise me if what they say about not releasing this to the general public is not true. It's seems entirely possible to me that they want to put it in the hands of criminals on their payroll as opposed to criminals not earning them money.

[Stefan Oltmann]

It surely costs a lot of money, so it’s safe to say that they won’t so it for the greater good but make money out of it at the end of the day.
