The patent also posits that such a tool could be used to remove filler words like “um” or “ah” from live speech, or to erase stutters or speech impediments.
That’s kind of fucked up. Let people speak for themselves; don’t “”“improve”“” their speech without permission
Surely the researchers noticed the skulls on their caps and asked themselves if they were the baddies?
Oh hey, it’s the tech from the running man.
Cool cool cool
Even when the goal isn’t misinformation…
Removing filler words, personal and colloquial terms, replacing words for more appropriate ones according to an “internet search”.
Who would be subjected to that willingly? Why even use a real human in the process at this point?
I don’t see this being any good for anyone.
But I am really pissed off that this can be patented. Even looking at the patent itself doesn’t look like anything new, its a series of flow charts.
I see nothing novel or patent worthy here at all.
A whole new level of fake news to come. Boomers won’t even know what hit 'em.
Not even just boomers anymore. I get AI slop shared with me by all ages. I just tell people now assume nothing online is real.
Who would have thought AI would be used for this?
Everyone, forever.
Everyone, forever.
That’s why it was M$ now. They go for trvial.
The death of language
For years we’ve been told to watch the full clip for context. Now two people can watch the same live event, hear completely different words, and both have video evidence. Microsoft has somehow found a way to make »I saw it with my own eyes« even less reliable.
We have [always|never] been at war with [eastasia|eurasia]
This was always the goal of AI
On one hand, translating movies and shows would be a great use case. But we all know that’s not what thisll get used for.
I have never understood why translation movies and tv shows would be so great, it works for kids shows, but adults can deal woth subtitles
Subtitles or die, agree!!!
My eight year old followed along for a three hour stage production of Spirited Away in Japanese, with subtitles projected above. So I guess technically supertitles. Point being, kids can handle subs just fine.
A dubbed version of something is basically a warped parody of it. But dub fans get really defensive about it.
Is there really no legal liability for the defamation cases this seems sure to produce?
The tech it self is “fine” it’s just any use of it that is basically always going to be a problem.
You can’t make things proactively illegal because it could be used for illegal shit. Unless it can ONLY be used for illegal shit. And even then it’s iffy.
Else you end up killing progress. It’s stupid, but there’s not a great solution.
How can this even be called progress? Progress of what? If anything, this regresses society at large.
you can’t make things proactively illegal
What? We literally do that all the time.
I can see how this would be neat in places that dub a lot of their foreign media so lip/mouth movement actually fits the words spoken. It has always been a complete deal breaker for me with dubbed media because it instantly shatters my suspension of disbelief and makes it all feel like the shittiest amateur theater performance.
I’d still prefer subtitles, since verbal is half the acting. And even tone can convey emotion that turning it into simply a visual one leads to missing half the actor’s performance.
At that point it is better to watch dubbed animation.
I prefer subtiles as well. But there are many countries that dub almost everything to their native language, and I think having the mouth actually follow the dubbed audio would definitely improve the experience. The dubbed versions in e.g. Germany have loads of voice acting in it so it fits the emotion and vibe of the scenes, so this would just improve that.
I refuse to watch live action dubs. That is what piracy is for if a country refuses to provide the original source material.
I mean, I agree I don’t watch them either because of the reason mentioned in my original comment. But I can still see the value this offers to all the people that do actually watch them.
I’d personally put more value in pushing people out of their comfort zone towards watching entire performances done by the actors and learning to read subtitles quicker.
Kind of funny that I watched Dark in German, but if it were an english production German people would be watching it dubbed.

So someone saw ‘the Capture’ and thought “that’s a great idea”.
Creepy
Do you think Microslop can use this to help get out of being held accountable for directly profiting off of the Palestinian Genocide?
