If you think the AI making this song cover using in game voice lines is impressive, then you might want to watch the cover the youtuber did for the Pyro. Where the Pyro sang a cover of "I don't want to set the world on fire" Sure the engi had a verse or two, but most of it was Pyro. The AI he used, actually managed to make him sing.. Beautifully.

@The Robloxian Minecrafter holy shit a highschooler
is no one gonna talk about how well the lip sync is? he does the meet the engineer movement and somehow still have good lip sync.
The person that made this used and edited the Meet The Engineer SFM project file :)
A friend told me that their is a "lip sync" function in sfm so they probably plugged in the song and used the old animation
It kinda looks looped after the first verse sadly
Couple verses
@@pdninja3338 Would make sense if it was done with the SFM lip-sync tool, it's notoriously inconsistent

The AI voice sounds genuinely human.
And it sounds like he's about to cry. T_T
He's _HOWLING_ those lyrics, holy shit
It doesnt even sound that AI generated, it sounds more like his voice is shot from crying for an hour straight before making this
I may be terrified of the idea of AI running loose and taking down humanity… but this is a video I am certainly happy they helped make.

This is the singular best rendition of AI singing anything and if anyone disagrees i will fight them
the fact he sings it better
Damn
you can feel the pain in the voice
Man, I miss TF2 updates…
Also Engie’s voice conveys SO MUCH PAIN! Seriously the OG creator of the AI Gen voice singing did really well.
Bro, i'm on my feels right now after listening to this.
im an engie main, and i can confirm, this is a banger
A true diamond amongst the coals. The creator deserves more subs.
I agree, extremely gemmish but using this 'ingo outside of the sharty is coal.
@GyyroSyncc I'm failing to understand what you mean by 'ingo outside of the sharty is coal,' but 👍.
There's no coals in tf2. This is the most creative fanbase. I didn't changed this opinion in about 10 years, imagine how many fanbases I've seen
I didnt think Engineer was going through this 😔✊
I have been playing this in loop for 7 days now
the best part is that the mouth sync is perfect
Sadly it's only for the first minute, after that it kinda falls off.
No joke for real Engi has a great singing voice
the first minute was PERFECT
This is an extended edit
That’s why only one part of it has lips sync
@@powdereyes2210 what was extended?
The part with the lip sync i think
Laying down in the middle of the club crying.
Dawg I can't stop listening to this song. It's like audible crack.
This is honestly how I feel when a steam friend never logs back in.
This is way better than it has any right to be and I love it.
This chorus actually goes hard as hell wtf
I’m torn. On one hand this version sounds so much better than the original but to say that means I’d disrespect the original, which is also a banger
Shout out to the kids who grew up listening to this cause their mothers / fathers were broken hearted
My mom was a huge P!nk fan lyrically. Now I know that might be cause for concern
Man dude this sounds so much better than the original, i just wish it didnt sound kinda distorted
unironically gave me goosebumps
Это лучше оригинала, даже не знаю что сказать, автор гений, ждём ещё ламповых песен
Who hurt you, Engineer? WHO?!?!?
Women ☕️
Valve. Valve hurt all of us.
"you took my hand" literally. looking at you gunslinger
this song already makes me cry but god...engie sounds so genuinely devastated. :( this hurts but in a really impressive way
im speechless, its so beutiful and the emotions you hear are somehow so relatable, i dont know about you, the person reading this but i had a moment like that myself
edit: what? idk what i was saying there it was 8 months, last part might be wrong, oh now i realised what i meant, well it got better, its good again
This has no right to sound as good as it does!
Awesome work!
this gon get popular
This dog gone vidjo right 'ere gon blow up i tell you wut
i sure hope so
The engineer stays alive because the head's hitbox shifts during the taunt.

can someone make bots that play as engineer, have aimbot, kill only bots. and spam this song in voice chat.

Almost sounds like Dave Grohl.
Makes me want a proper cover from a male vocalist with that sort of voice.
