+ + A Glimpse of the Future +
++ We're building FakeYou as just one component of a + broad set of production and creative tooling. +
+About FakeYou
+ ++ Your brain was already capable of imagining things spoken in other people's voices. This is + a demonstration of how far computers have caught up. One day computers will be able to + bring all of the rich and vivid imagery of your hopes and dreams to life. There's never been a + better time throughout all history to be a creative than now. +
+ +Technology disclosure
+ ++ We'll be happy to remove any of the voices featured here for any reason. + See our terms page for more info. +
+ ++ ”Deep fakes” are kind of like Photoshop when it first came out. They're impressive, maybe a + little bit scary, but they're about to become the new norm. People will become accustomed to the technology, + and the results will be used mostly for creative good, unlocking previously costly and unattainable high + production values for individual creators. It's our belief that the next Hollywood will be you. +
+ ++ The technology to clone voices is already out in the open, and the voices here are built by a + community of contributors. We're not the only website doing this, and plenty of people are producing + these same results on their own at home, independent of our work. You can see thousands of examples + on YouTube and social media. +
+ ++ Even if the United States chooses to ban this technology, institutions in China, Japan, Canada, + and other countries all over the world are rapidly conducting and publishing research + on this topic. People everywhere have access to this easy-to-use technology. State actors + probably have even more sophisiticated versions available. +
+ ++ As an interesting point, most if not all of the voices produced by this website are actually + Linda Johnson with a little bit layered on top. +
+ ++ NVIDIA + makes these tools publicly available for you to make your own voice models. Check it out! +
+ +FakeYou was previously Vocodes
+ +FakeYou.com was previously known as https://vo.codes, but has been rebranded + to better reflect its purpose and direction. (Not many people know what a vocoder is + anyway, so it didn't make sense to keep the name.)
