Cute, but AI voices of the dead need to be killed with fire

I agree with the sentiment but for the record Sir David is still alive.

He’s still alive at 98. This scared me for a second, thinking I missed that he died. I did not

It’s a shame there are no comedians capable of doing a decent Attenborough impression. :frowning:

Weird, I woke up in a panic this morning because I thought John Waters had died… He’s very much alive, thank god… but for a second, I was quite sure about his death.

What?

Well, there’s this unknown guy to start with.

Rory Bremner and Jon Culshaw can both do him well, but you usually only see their ‘exaggerated’ impressions, done deliberately for a laugh. (Which also suggests a net cast wider than just ‘comedians’ would be fruitful.)

I think the concept is funny, not sure if this falls under fair use but yeaaah not thrilled over hijacking someone’s voice. Also there is some kind of irony about making a joke about the cybertruck but only uploading it to xitter

Yeah, there’s no need to hijack the guy’s voice especially because Sir Attenbourough has done his fair share of comedic narrations and self-parodies already:

But when people do do these parodies I’d much prefer a voice actor to AI.

AI looks identical to Al in this font. Trouble for AI Al Yankovic ahead…

Yeah ditto. Spoofs are fun, and there are tons of talented voice people who do impersonations.

But I guess there are way more people who have ideas for spoofs and not money to pay people. :confused: I already tire from this AI BS.

When it comes to well-done spoofs of famous narrators specifically, Ze Frank’s tribute to Morgan Freeman comes to mind…
