@nostupidquestions Did AI voiceovers get much better recently? I seem to be hearing videos with AI voiceovers that have good English and Tagalog pronunciations even when switching between them.
How’s AI dubs in other languages?

    How’s AI dubs in other languages?

    In German: Unbearable.

    No kidding. Each time when I hear one, I wish they have never been invented, and I rush for the switch to turn it off.

      The spoken language of the native people of the Philippines; still one of the country’s official languages and spoken by a majority of the population.

        No, they are not. Big tech corps don’t care about you, they care about profit. They will gladly assist in genocide for a bit more profit.

        There is really no need to reply with that to tell someone to search something themselves. There are better ways to encourage someone to look something up than that.

        It is also lowkey annoying to ask a question and get a glib answer like that.

          Asking ”what is tagalog” is really disrespectful waste of everybody’s time.

          The phrase ”english and tagalog” clearly indicates that it’s a language.

          Moreover, it is a single word, which is really, really easy to use a search engine for. Or wikipedia. You rarely see ”what is X” type of questions even here, on nostupidquestions.

          Third, the person acknowledged themselves that it’s a stupid question.

            That maybe a bit of an ironic opinion in this community. :)

            The phrase ”english and tagalog” clearly indicates that it’s a language. Moreover, it is a single word, which is really, really easy to use a search engine for.

            I get that but clarification can be helpful for the next 100 people that read the thread. Chances are most people won’t search it but they still wouldn’t mind knowing anyway.

            Maybe I should’ve put an ‘um aCtUaLlY’ in front of the first point as I knew you weren’t saying it literally. I didn’t mean to insult or to put you down, I know we all have different things that annoy us. Anyway thanks for being so gracious and empathetic. :)

    They’ve been good for a while. It’s been a thing for at least early 2024, look at how convincing ElevenLabs is.

    Can you give an example? I’ve heard many now that are bearable to listen to but none that really sound human.

      Have you tried notebookLM from Google yet? Provide it s couple documents or web pages and then have it generate an audio analysis. You will get a podcast style report with two voices. They have some pretty advanced production. You can even hear them breathing.
