At the moment VALL-E can only read, not necessarily PERFORM with the emotional, tonal and pacing range of a voice actor. However, much of the audiobook industry relies on a lot of junior voice actor talent that will undoubtedly feel the brunt of this first.

This is terrifying thinking about scam callers getting their hands on this.

I can honestly seeing the foreign accent scam stereotype disappearing completely once you match this tech with a good script.

soon the only way to know if a person is real that you're talking to will be physically in person.

How, in the name of god or whoever else, did anyone think: „yup. That’s a good idea. Surely no one will use this with ill intentions.“

What use does this even have except for scam and impersonation purposes? Why don't we focus on AI where it actually helps humanity? Why are we getting AI image generators and voice imitation? That's literally the last thing we need.

Oh ye, this is definitely not going to open a whole can of worms of exploitation, identity thief and fraud ;)

Remember folks, just because is “the new technology” and “technological advancement” doesn’t mean is good or it should be embraced
