+ + 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 actuallyLinda
+ 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.) +
