I'm sure there are hours and hours of audio you can pull from Magnum PI and the few movies he did. He actually sounded pretty similar in the "reverse mortgage" ads, albeit considerably older. Might take a little sifting to get snippets with the intonation and cadence you like, but once you have a minute or so of a representative sample, there are tools you can feed it into to get a good result. A couple don't even require any real training, but they tend to sound more accurate if you let them chew on the data for a while.

He's still on TV!

I was playing around with AI music tonight. I just pasted in the commercial lines and one of the AI generated songs came up with this orchestral music. We are all going to lose our jobs pretty soon.

Pretty good. Now someone needs to do a cut like this with all the AI tech companies. "Have you ever squandered two decades of your life and incurred virtually unrepayable debt to become highly-skilled in a trade, only to be replaced by a computer? You Will."

In all honesty, though, this is the natural evolution of the digital realm. It was always going to happen. The moment we started to "offload" work to the computers, the clock started ticking. There are people who consider themselves artists and composers and who have never cleaned paint from a brush nor put their lips to a physical instrument. The more we needed help from digital devices, the less they needed in the way of human input. This is only the very predictable end result.

I think we can get a pretty good picture of future society by blending elements from the films Wall-E and Idiocracy, with a little Terminator sprinkled in. Actually, maybe a lot of Terminator sprinkled in... with 1984 as the plot-line. All because people wanted to fax from the beach and didn't want to engage with another human to ask for directions. :)

I, for one, like when my music is sampled, totally fake.

It's done by machines 'cause they don't make mistakes.

(always thought that lyric was "our music is simple" but Google says nope. The last 30 years have been a lie)
