iOS 17 Will Let You Create a Voice Sounding Like You in Just 15 Minutes

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

My Favorite! Darth Vader Breathing. I know it says within 15 minutes.

How long 10 Hours of breathing going to take for this feature to implement in iOS 17?

Challenge: Sound like Darth Vader! May the force be with you.

Screen calling is something I miss a lot from Pixel.

Apple dialer app is retarded, you can't even type letters with numbers (like 1 being ABC etc)

In fact most apple apps and services are late to the game and lacking improvements and features (dunno if that's cook fault)

I cussed you out?! No way, that was Siri glitching.

“my voice is my password. Please authenticate me”….what u have to say to most banking institutions when u call these days in the US

Seriously? US is even weirder than I thought xD

I'm not sure how y'all are suggesting that scammers can make it sound like a family member? It's not like the scammer can sample enough audio sources of someone in your family speaking, painstakingly edit it all together to reflect the on-screen prompts so that the Machine Learning can generate a mimic, and then type out responses to the person they're scamming so that the phone reads it aloud. If you think that's possible, someone do a proof of concept, post your results here. I'll be waiting.

What the scammers are doing today is trolling through YouTube, TikTok, etc where people post videos with their voice and it gets sampled into one of many tools to create a facsimile voice. Then using various info people leak out, share, etc. use it to scam. One of MANY articles to browse: https://time.com/6275794/ai-voice-cloning-scams-music/

This is really touching, being able to record your own voice before loosing it entirely. It would also be nice to leave behind for my spouse after I’ve died. 💙

Seriously? US is even weirder than I thought xD

Not just US. My bank in the UK requires something very similar.

“I got invited to try the beta version of this but could not make any sense of the words it asked me to read: Longing, rusted, furnace, daybreak, seventeen, benign, nine, homecoming, one, freight car”

OK, now I’m gonna have to watch Captain America and the Winter Soldier again.

I have accounts in three different institutions, and none of them do voice identification. What banks do rely on voice prints for authorization? I'd love to know, so that I never open an account with them.

Father warns others about AI voice scams after his family lost $1k

Officials are warning against a new way thieves are using artificial intelligence to create false family emergencies and extort victims for money.

abcnews.go.com

People are already doing it via other similar AI tools. They mine social media posts with videos that include the person's voice.

I hate the sound of my voice. I thought most people felt the same about their voices.

Those with an iPhone, iPad, or newer Mac will be able to create a Personal Voice

Do we know how "new" the Mac needs to be?

 

[PhillyGuy72]

My voice in A.I., I don't even like the sound of my voice! 😂😒

Seriously, someone else recording you....your kids, too dangerous I fear. What could POSSIBLY go wrong??!

 

[centauratlas]

If that's possible.. The first thing you have to say is; Good morning!

Followed by: "we think your going to love this."

What are my chances of saying Aluminium in Jony Ive's voice?

I miss this!

Haha! Can relate.

I’m Australian and my step mum and siblings are from the US. I didn’t find out we said it differently until about 13.

I struggled for ages to say “aluminum”. I seriously couldn’t say it the American way.

I still say aluminium like Jony but just sound far less elegant due to a lack of a British accent

 

[wilhoitm]

I love how the Terminator impersonates voices!

I Love You Too Sweetheart!​

That's fine and dandy but what about a feature we have been asking for years. Placing icons anywhere on the home screen.

 

[PhillyGuy72]

We need other voices. 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

I can tell based on the responses that 80% of the people here didn’t actually read the article

 

[Darajavahus]

So if I’m bad at speaking in English, I practice the 15 min text a lot, will it speak in my voice with good pronunciation? That would be cool for video scripts if it will be possible to export the audio

 

[jayducharme]

🤯 That's a pretty incredible (if creepy) achievement.

 

[_z_]

I suspect the process will involve the speaker reading out specific phrases to build the database, rather than just being able to play back voice clips.

No need to suspect. This is exactly how the article describes it working.

This is cool. When Siri voices an iMessage it can mimic the sender's voice sound.

 

[rrjr80]

Some of the comments in here…it’s almost like some of you didn’t read the article.

 

[Lcgiv]

Can't make my mind up if I would find this endearing or creepy to be honest.

Yes.
