Although MS did not train it to speak Japanese, it performed perfectly. As an added feature, you can specify serious, happy, concerned, or angry. If this becomes available, we will never be able to believe what we see and hear.
Take a look.

Well, this is interesting. I would like to play with it myself using a picture of me and adding my voice to it with different types of speaking and see what it does if it imitates me or not.

Is the only way to avoid all of this . . . to literally move to "the woods" and cut off connection with mankind as we know?
I kinda like it. Very interesting technology, notwithstanding the problems caused by a good AI application. I would imagine that this VASA ain't gonna be free. Wonder how much the Microsoft "gods" are gonna charge?

Absolutely!!! It will be virtually impossible to verify anything coming out of the mouths of an AI rendition.

I HATE AI! You are right, Jerry-----we will never be able to believe what we see.
I don’t believe much of what is said anyway

Sure is. It's already bad enough. No telling how much grief it will cause.
