    I have personally used VALL-E and tried it out. What they are claiming is absolute bullshit. It is “a” voice, but it’s certainly nowhere close to “your” voice. Don’t believe me? You can try it out yourself.

    Real AI training requires putting in the work.

      Well that’s weird, since the article says:

      Perhaps owing to VALL-E’s ability to potentially fuel mischief and deception, Microsoft has not provided VALL-E code for others to experiment with, so we could not test VALL-E’s capabilities.

      You think maybe that Github release, which isn’t from Microsoft, might not be the same thing despite the name?

        All of the AI tech is based on research papers, which are semi-publicly available.
