Maybe I can finally achieve my dream of a “documentary” where David Attenborough narrates a bunch of construction vehicles as if they were dinosaurs.
Germans beat ya to it

AI should be used only for shitposts like this.
Is this new? Streamers and youtubers have been using David Attenborough ai voice for months. I doubt any of them are authorized.
I believe the novelty here is that the AI is deciding what to say about him on its own. It’s not just reading a script.
I honestly kind of doubt that. It’s too good.
He posted the source code. It’s taking a picture, passing that to GPT which is instructed to output text in Attenborough’s style then that’s fed to the voice deep fake tool.
Ah okay. Well maybe GPT 4 is better than I thought. I’m kind of happy to be wrong, it’s really impressive if it’s real.
Yeah it really is very impressive.
I’m having good everyday success with what seem like trivial things but honestly have been game changers for me.
My favourite so far is that I got it to make a nutritionally complete meal plan for a week for our family, turn it into a shopping list then order it by area of the supermarket.
That last bit was the real win. It also turned out to be very cheap by comparison to our normal shop.
I’m loving the AI revolution so far. Stuff like this is a fun way to show just how far it can go.
It’s getting to be extremely capable, three months ago I had a 30ish percent success rate on python and Javascript programs, nowadays it’s closer to 60% success on the first try instead of over a session on correction prompts.
Edit: I’ve also been playing with the beta version Gpt4 that’s set to release in a few weeks and it’s even better.

Are you talking about ChatGPT4 Turbo? Because ChatGPT 4 has been available for a while now. And they’re already talking up ChatGPT 5.
Yeah turbo, specifically the gpt-4-1106 version
Yeah, maybe, but I’m inclined to give this one the benefit of the doubt because there’s a substantial delay as all the moving parts in that python script work together. He finished drinking from his cup and put it down before it finished scripting and speaking the description of the act.
Wasn’t there a Warhammer lore Attenborough channel already?
Show don’t tell
Yeah now I wanna check that out too!
I think it was this one but they had to change the voice because of a copyright claim.

Anyone have an archive of the old videos?
Creative writing PTSD passive writing style.
It’s excellent
Nothing is quite as soothing as a grimdark future where there is only war narrated by AI Attenborough.
At least we know that David’s soothing voice will be able to narrate nature documentaries until the end of earth’s inevitable collapse.
Are we really that far away from a robotic platform being able to process this information in real time and then interpret it to be able to interact with the surrounding world and make reasonable conclusions on how to follow certain commands?
we’re still a minute away
just a minute tho
No, because that’s already being done.

Intake orifice, such grace, such poise 🤣
That was unexpectedly awesome.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“Here we have a remarkable specimen of Homo sapiens distinguished by his silver circular spectacles and a mane of tousled curly locks,” the false Attenborough says in the demo as Holtz looks on with a grin.
Holtz provided the code (called “narrator”) that pulls it all together on GitHub, and it requires API tokens for OpenAI and ElevenLabs that cost money to run.
During the demo video, when Holtz holds up a cup and takes a drink, the fake Attenborough narrator says, "Ah, in its natural environment, we observe the sophisticated Homo sapiens engaging in the critical ritual of hydration.
This male individual has selected a small cylindrical container, likely filled with life-sustaining H2O, and is tilting it expertly towards his intake orifice.
This has legal implications regarding a celebrity’s publicity rights, and it has already been used to scam people by faking the voices of loved ones seeking money.
“Okay, I’m going to get David Attenborough to narrate videos of my baby learning how to eat broccoli,” quipped Jeremy Nguyen in an X reply.
The original article contains 553 words, the summary contains 175 words. Saved 68%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Okay so we got AI live interpreting video, feeding this information into another AI which writes narration in David Attenborough style, then yet another AI creates a vocal version of this and now also AI summed up the article which describes the feat pretty well.
And how do we know you’re not just another AI that summarizes summaries while adding a little bit of commentary?
Good bot!
“Small cylindrical container”
I kind of prefer that over just “glass”
This is nuts lol
Now do Kevan Brighting from Stanley Parable!
I love this. 🤣 👏👏👏
