Ok. So this happened. It is NOT us at all. Fully generated by artificial intelligence. The video, audio. All of it.

Does the technology excite you? Creep you out? Let me know. I’m curious to hear your thoughts.

@SquawkCNBC @davidfaber @SquawkStreet @cnbcevents @synthesiaIO Actors won't have to act. TV hosts won't have to host, they will make money by renting out their persona. Crazy

@SquawkCNBC @davidfaber @SquawkStreet @cnbcevents @synthesiaIO I can't wait for AI Inverse Cramer

@SquawkCNBC @davidfaber @SquawkStreet @cnbcevents @synthesiaIO do you have object permanence man i'm serious lol

@fundstrat @SquawkCNBC @davidfaber @SquawkStreet @cnbcevents @synthesiaIO The Uncanny Valley is still painfully powerful in this one. It’s the pauses in the speech, I think. 🤔

@SquawkCNBC @davidfaber @SquawkStreet @cnbcevents @synthesiaIO imagine the promos that can be generated now!! without needing your direct participation/time/etc!

@SquawkCNBC @davidfaber @SquawkStreet @cnbcevents @synthesiaIO It lacks some of your usual cadences and feels a bit stiff. But it won’t be long before no one can tell the difference. The only reason it doesn’t seem real to me is because I’m a loyal viewer of CNBC. If I wasn’t, I would have no reason to suspect that it’s AI.

@SquawkCNBC @davidfaber @SquawkStreet @cnbcevents @synthesiaIO This is Dangerous AI. I hope we develop a program that detects Gen AI like this.

@SquawkCNBC @davidfaber @SquawkStreet @cnbcevents Thanks for choosing Synthesia to bring your avatars to life! ✨

@SquawkCNBC @davidfaber @SquawkStreet @cnbcevents @synthesiaIO Why do these avatars sound like they are monotone robots and nothing like the real you?
