Is this new? Streamers and youtubers have been using David Attenborough ai voice for months. I doubt any of them are authorized.

I believe the novelty here is that the AI is deciding what to say about him on its own. It's not just reading a script.

I honestly kind of doubt that. It's too good.

He posted the source code. It's taking a picture, passing that to GPT which is instructed to output text in Attenborough's style then that's fed to the voice deep fake tool.

Ah okay. Well maybe GPT 4 is better than I thought. I'm kind of happy to be wrong, it's really impressive if it's real.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah it really is very impressive.

I'm having good everyday success with what seem like trivial things but honestly have been game changers for me.

My favourite so far is that I got it to make a nutritionally complete meal plan for a week for our family, turn it into a shopping list then order it by area of the supermarket.

That last bit was the real win. It also turned out to be very cheap by comparison to our normal shop.

I'm loving the AI revolution so far. Stuff like this is a fun way to show just how far it can go.

It's getting to be extremely capable, three months ago I had a 30ish percent success rate on python and Javascript programs, nowadays it's closer to 60% success on the first try instead of over a session on correction prompts.

Edit: I've also been playing with the beta version Gpt4 that's set to release in a few weeks and it's even better.

Are you talking about ChatGPT4 Turbo? Because ChatGPT 4 has been available for a while now. And they're already talking up ChatGPT 5.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah turbo, specifically the gpt-4-1106 version

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, maybe, but I'm inclined to give this one the benefit of the doubt because there's a substantial delay as all the moving parts in that python script work together. He finished drinking from his cup and put it down before it finished scripting and speaking the description of the act.
