      It's more like, we need to produce 100 training videos as quickly as possible. How fast can this be done? Still, I would always license my image and likeness so that if the training videos are used for years I would still retain rights and be compensated for it. What would be especially useful is replacing a small section a couple years later and being able to recreate that section and have it match perfectly. And with scripts and different person used to train the model, it would be possible to recreate it with the same scripts.

    The primary issue with her experiment was the lack of ability to add emotions to the avatar, primarily via voice alone.

Right now companies are looking at ways to harnest the power of AI to reduce cost. Just remember a few decades ago, US never thought of their factories moving to china but it did and many jobs where lost. As a result, we had many chain supply issue during the pandemic since we no longer produce most products. The time will come when companies realize replacing human for AI will lead to their demise when a hacker can just control all the AI to do their bidding.

    It is an extra security to have a second signin task. For me, I sign in, but then have to have them send me an email with a code number that I have to put in. They used to call me (tape) but they took that option off. Your online account should have options to install a second security action or PIN. But also, scammers will have this down pat so they can make calls to your mother asking for money, or telling them you've been kidnapped for ransom. Scammers are already so good at what they do that they'll snag even the smartest among us. Even scam busters get scammed once in awhile. I guess the bottom line is "trust no one." Always verify the information before acting on it, if it involves money or transfer of goods.

      I am predicting that within a very few phone generations, we will have such a personalized phone that it would be almost impossible to clone anything because our phone will take every individual parameter into consideration such as the Iris scan, fingerprints, voice recognition, and who knows what else. At that point every phone would be embedded into us, evolving into a biological SIM card, if you will. The future may be such a thing that occurs at birth.
      I know that idea has been hashed around with the infamous 'chip' being installed. My fear has been who, and what entity, is going to be doing the chip installation at birth.

    Eleven Labs does a very good job on creating a voice with an emphatic tone. Synthesia body clones however usually look too stiff as the arms and body barely move, yet I have seen some TH-cam channels using Synthesia getting 100K views on a video. Of course part of that is the great in demand content and good script writing. A content creator could get away with using these services sparingly on some video productions and tutorials. I hear you can even get an AI voice to sing for you. It will only get better a couple of years from now. Good review demo!

    Just had a thought that it might be wise of companies making these voice cloning services to add an inaudible pattern of tones (as in, something outside of the normal human hearing range) that won't be noticed by people listening, but could easily be picked up and flagged by any machines listening to the voice.
    Obviously this audio "flag" could be eliminated by anyone who is aware of it, but it would immediately knock out all the amateurs trying to abuse the service and would, at the very least, slow down anyone who knows it's there and knows how to remove it.

Plus too many things are too far out of control to avoid global catastrophe. I believe only AGI can save us. It’s advancing at an exponential rate and is the wild card in our future powerful enough to slam on the brakes and radically alter our present trajectory which is for self-destruction. Hope springs eternal. This is the only bright spot I see. If Mother Nature doesn’t destroy us with a super volcano, human nature will with something like super stupid Woke ideology. We simply cannot survive like this.
