What Can Our Ears Believe?

Technology is pretty amazing, as we all know. Today, couple of examples of products that have been demonstrated, though are not yet fully commercialized. This software can essentially make anyone whose voice it has a sample of say pretty much anything, including things the person has never said, in one case merely by typing text on a screen. Don’t believe it? Check www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=9&v=I3l4XLZ59iw. And take a look at www.lyrebird.ai as well where you can talk for a minute or more and have your own voice synthesized. Spooky – or Great?
