  Maybe I can finally achieve my dream of a “documentary” where David Attenborough narrates a bunch of construction vehicles as if they were dinosaurs.

  AI should be used only for shitposts like this.

  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.

      Nothing is quite as soothing as a grimdark future where there is only war narrated by AI Attenborough.

  At least we know that David’s soothing voice will be able to narrate nature documentaries until the end of earth’s inevitable collapse.

  Are we really that far away from a robotic platform being able to process this information in real time and then interpret it to be able to interact with the surrounding world and make reasonable conclusions on how to follow certain commands?

    No, because that’s already being done.

  This is the best summary I could come up with:

  ---

  “Here we have a remarkable specimen of Homo sapiens distinguished by his silver circular spectacles and a mane of tousled curly locks,” the false Attenborough says in the demo as Holtz looks on with a grin.

  Holtz provided the code (called “narrator”) that pulls it all together on GitHub, and it requires API tokens for OpenAI and ElevenLabs that cost money to run.

  During the demo video, when Holtz holds up a cup and takes a drink, the fake Attenborough narrator says, "Ah, in its natural environment, we observe the sophisticated Homo sapiens engaging in the critical ritual of hydration.

  This male individual has selected a small cylindrical container, likely filled with life-sustaining H2O, and is tilting it expertly towards his intake orifice.

  This has legal implications regarding a celebrity’s publicity rights, and it has already been used to scam people by faking the voices of loved ones seeking money.

  “Okay, I’m going to get David Attenborough to narrate videos of my baby learning how to eat broccoli,” quipped Jeremy Nguyen in an X reply.

    Okay so we got AI live interpreting video, feeding this information into another AI which writes narration in David Attenborough style, then yet another AI creates a vocal version of this and now also AI summed up the article which describes the feat pretty well.

      And how do we know you’re not just another AI that summarizes summaries while adding a little bit of commentary?

  “Small cylindrical container”
