I Stole my Friend's Voice With Ai

i think jake is the perfect candidate for us to recreate with ai dude jake is not aware that this exists right now frankly once we show that what we've done to him uh he'll give us consent [Music] previously on corridor crew what is this it's freaking nico i've been really impressed with nico's ability to harness the power of deep fakes to recreate someone's likeness whether it's pre-rendered or recently as we've seen in real time however there is a key thing missing from those recreations and that's the voice so i'm going to figure out the other half i'm going to figure out how to make some great ai voices i'm not going to get too deep into like the code and processing right now because there's already a lot of services out there we've messed with replica studios my family was butchered by hellspawn another company called resemble.ai how can you call this a world now there's lots of great features within these programs however the actual voices they're a little bit lacking i wonder what sound you'll make when you hit the ground a lot of these voices kind of sound robotic each time i've experimented with them it kind of sounds like late 90s text-to-speech hello i am macintosh it sure is great to get out of that bag so that's where i got in deeper there's a company called dscript that purchased the algorithm called lyrebird and they've integrated it into their transcribing software and it sounds so good hey ren hey peter i hope you're impressed with my super cool robot voice in the future i will only type my words and this robot will tell them to you not bad that was crazy not bad dude it's not bad that's the quality of like a proper voice set and like proper training on a proper ai voice model when you say proper what does that mean to record the voice data set i basically just recorded myself for about 15 minutes i read a dnd book so it's like you did all this training and you gave that training data to them for them to synthesize your voice but now that that's that's something that they now just hack they have it but i don't think they're allowed to use it aloud you know how like sometimes you click i agree to your terms of service i consent to this for this service they make you literally speak into a microphone as a recording saying i'm consenting and i'm aware that i'm providing my voice to this service and once it's uploaded it can be replicated like i have i had to literally say that into a microphone and that was my signature dude uh you got to do some tongue twisters something that you would be challenged to actually say but the computer can say because it's a computer betty botter bought some butter but she said the butter's bitter if i put it in my batter it will make my batter bitter but a bit of better butter will make my batter better so tua's better betty botter bought a bit of better butter that was kind of nice all right dude that's enough that's nuts guys i don't know how to express myself very well so i had an ai express myself for me anyways here's the song i dedicate the song to you i love peter and ren they're my favorite friends i hope we'll always be together until the end peter is so smart and ren is so sweet i can't imagine my life without them by my side they make me laugh and they make me smile i'm so grateful they're in my life i love peter and ren they're my favorite friends i hope we'll always be together until the end [Music] [Laughter] wow that was romantic i could literally do this forever because the computer would just keep doing it so i've been doing some thinking here fun fact there has never been more people working at corridors studio than at any other point in time well that adds a lot of pressure for jake because he is in charge of managing everyone's schedules and workloads studio meetings presentations now oh on top of it he handles almost all the brand integrations for every video today's sponsor today's sponsor of today's sponsor today's sponsor jake has more pressure on his plate than ever these days i think he's the perfect candidate for us to recreate with ai in order to alleviate some of that workload i know he's going to love this because the ai can automate a lot of the tasks that require his vocal presence however jake is fearful of new technology and ai do you think an ai will be a government body at some point god i hope not jake lives in a small compound in texas and to him his rights his privacy those those are very important to him and so i know that if i'm going to go to him and say hey jake in order to do this i'm going to need you to certify and consent all this stuff and we're sending your voice to another company and they might own your voice and all that he's not going to want to sign up for that we have a challenge here the way you submit your voice set through this service is by speaking into a microphone a a consent form it takes that recorded sentence pairs it up with your data set and makes sure that this data set and the person agreeing and consenting to everything are the same person so i can't make a fake jake voice unless he consents to doing it something i know he won't agree to if you're a filmmaker sometimes you know that you're gonna have to film somewhere you're not supposed to be or do something you know you wanna get the shot and so there's a little phrase that it's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to get permission unfortunately in this case we absolutely need his consent to do it and so we're going to take the hard path this time by manufacturing his consent the funny thing about this is that t-script is supposed to be a podcast transcription service where you upload your podcast and it breaks down all the words i'm using the same software that i would be using to recreate his voice to you know mash these words together i can literally just type it in here i can say currently does he say currently ever oh our world currently oh boom there we go that's one word down you know do we have a speech oh yeah to do a speech oh we got speech you need his name oh yeah jake of course me jake watson yes if you have a podcast where you have hours and hours and hours and hours of your voice recorded out there are you at risk for having someone make an ai version of you yes is this immoral yeah i mean yes absolute this is totally immoral but the thing is is that thankfully i know that jake once he sees the final product he'll feel like he would have agreed three hours later wren do you remember how i mentioned that i had to speak consent yeah yeah so i've laboriously gone through and recreated his consent form oh my oh this is this is dirty this is dirty all right here we go it's going to be funny i hereby verify that i jake watson i am currently speaking and that i'd like to script to create an overdub version of my voice i understand that this overdub voice can be used to create a speech that sounds like my voice oh my god dude some words i just can't find but i've kind of like mashed a few words together and i i think i i think it's gonna work so i'm going to submit this and see if i can get it to train the data set of all our podcast footage to create an aig voice oh man jake of all people wouldn't be happy about this but at the same time he will like the results i think maybe this is like breaking into a facility and like knocking someone out and then holding their hand up to the scanner oh my god this is exactly that i feel like i just witnessed a crime technically you may have oh no dude come back tomorrow let's see if it works okay well sam is in the studio working on this voice ai mystery project i wanted to talk to you guys about today's sponsor story blocks storyblocks is your one-stop shop for all your stock

friend sam and the really cool project he is working on that i know nothing about jake sent me voicemail liar good morning everyone i've got a big announcement today i've decided to fly to ukraine to support the defense of their capital city kiev you might not see me in videos for a while until i get back this ai voice will cover for me in the meantime say hello you little rascal peter piper picked a pack of pickled peppers a pack of pickled peppers peter piper picked if peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers where's the pack of pickled peppers peter piper picked just wait just be clear jake doesn't know that this exists jake is not aware that this exists right now and you're not supposed to make ai models people's voices you're not supposed to do it yet we've seen so many so many things like this like oh we took mark hamill you know you scoured the internet you found tons of images of people's faces did all that stuff did you get their permission to do it no no no public personalities they're their likeness the sound of their voice it's out there in the world and it doesn't take much to go out there and capture it you know so it's so anyways we have jake say whatever we want him to say which frankly once we show that what we've done to him uh he'll give us consent but the best way to convince jake is if he can see the effect that this voice has on other people this voice lends itself to like him just espousing wisdom with inspirational quotes like this the sun the source of all our power what would we do without it there is also a smaller tidy sun inside each and every one of us making a jake psa that's supposed to be like all right here's like an update on like my thoughts about work and studio protocols i think that would go over really well if you can see the effect this ai voice in his likeness has on the team he'll be sold so we have finally figured out the best use for jake's ai voice and that's going to be an inspirational team building presentation so in the same theme of taking work off of jake's plate we've created a script using gpt-3 all i'm going to do is give it a few key facts about jake what he's from texas i know he's getting into bow hunting but i'm going to let it kind of do the rest and fill in the gaps i think this is going to work out really well because all he has to do is sit back relax and watch as the effect of this ai voice uh changes everyone's mood it's going to inspire them it's going to motivate them you know it's a team building exercise it's going to bring everyone together and if you can see that look on their faces we will surely get his post consent to do this whole video i mean just you watching this video right now probably means this whole thing's going to work so we've scheduled a meeting for today at 4 00 pm we've told everyone it's a routine scheduling studio protocol meeting jake's going to hop on a video call with us does you hear it yeah when you play the video you can hear the video and once we make sure that his end's working and he can hear everything that's going on here we are going to put him on you and let his ai voice do the talking so with all the new people joining us we wanted to do a little company culture thing so actually jake put together a video out in texas for us what's that so he worked really hard on it so if we could just watch it you know i can see what you guys think okay cool all right so yeah jake what does the pilot jake once says yeah lately i've been thinking a lot about team building as the corridor team grows it's important to be aware of what makes a strong team and most importantly a strong business if you want to succeed in business you have to be a team player and if you want to be a team player you have to be from texas there's just something about texans that makes them the perfect employees and business partners maybe it's our fiery attitude or our willingness to work hard or our midwestern work ethic or the hot air balloons we use to hunt goats with our bow and arrows why hunt goats you may ask because they're delicious that's why but i digress whatever it is texans make great team players and that's why businesses succeed in texas but what else makes a business succeed the sun the sun is the source of all our power and businesses in texas thrive because of our abundant sunshine so if you want to start a business in texas you need two things a team player and plenty of sunshine but there's a whole lot more in this big old world than just texas what about other parts of the country what does it take to be a team player elsewhere in order to be a team player in another state you need to understand that state's culture for example in california you need to be aware of the silicon valley culture in new york you need to be aware of the big apple culture in texas you need to be aware of the feared lone star culture a culture where only the strongest and most ruthless business people can survive as we all know the human brain is a powerful organ and it's especially powerful when it comes to team building the human brain is divided into two hemispheres the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere the left hemisphere is responsible for logical thinking while the right hemisphere is responsible for everything else that's why it's so important for businesses to have a team of people who can think logically and a team of people who can think creatively in layman's terms that means a team of texans and non-texans without that that business is doomed to fail just like the dinosaurs who died from a lack of sunlight [Laughter] so if you want to be a team player you have to be strong you have to be tough you have to be from texas or you have to be from a state with a strong culture that's why i'm moving to california he's moving back i'm excited to be a part of the silicon valley culture i'm excited to learn about the silicon valley way of doing things and i'm excited to be a part of a team that's going to change the world you might be asking me right now how are you going to change the world what new project is up your sleeve well that project is still a secret but i can tell you this it's going to involve a lot of culture a lot of team building and a lot of sunshine so stick together grab your bows and arrows and get ready to take on the world because the corridor team is going to change the world one goat at a time wow wow wow that's pretty great yeah you guys questions or thoughts jake you want to like elaborate on this at all all right here's here's the real deal what i had nothing to do with that but how that was your voice that was ai voice oh you did sound kind of down in the dumps jake um i did this without your permission or with your knowledge yeah and unfortunately because i'm using a service that requires your consent oh i see what happened i transcribed nine hours of our podcast to find the exact words that you say to trick the voice id into thinking you're giving verbal consent sam you you might you might be going to name and likeness jail this is so sketchy if we if i don't get your consent we can't release this video because i might get banned from this service and who knows what else are you dressing me on camera in front of all of my co-workers for consent yeah i just need your consent i know i don't know what you're doing with this we're not consenting to giving away your voice i'm still in control of it i don't know if i believe that it's not like the company gets to use your voice it's only to prevent people from using other people's voice for malicious purposes well obviously that didn't work very well dude yeah but but obviously we've got to work around here well let me just say this how about this how about this why don't you consent right now and then i'll let you like take it back if you don't feel comfortable later right right yeah that always works out well for people i i wouldn't i jake i would never use your voice to harm you i'm just saying here on camera i've not used it for anything else other than the voices that are in this video other than that i have not messed with it at all the crime is committed i you know i messed up but we can fix this there's a phrase in texas and it's come and take it but i took it you didn't i mean just listen to everyone they list they listen to you your voice meaning that this has potential in other realms whether we're doing branded segments other things but we can't utilize it unless you know we get your your consent i i really i really was inspired by the speech the speech was good yeah it's all about pain building and all that stuff i'm feeling so inspired i just can't use this inspiration because it's just dirty because it's non-consensual pending pending his consent obviously that removes the dirty feelings here who would be inspired if he was to consent to this without question yeah never been foreign i just need your consent for this one video you you have you have my consent for this video [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you have it right there he has consented to this video in the future we'll ask for consent every time at the beginning sam i'm going to be in town next week and i'd like to do some brand integrations using this voice we can now have a virtual jake where we hit a content button we hit a brand integration button and it prints brand integrations all right there we go well that was a fun video the fact that sam was able to navigate this technology shows just how
