The movie “Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain” appeared in cinemas Friday and mostly features real footage of the beloved celebrity chef and globe-trotting television host before he died in 2018. But its director, Morgan Neville, told The New Yorker that a snippet of dialogue was created using artificial intelligence technology.
But Mason, who previously founded and led Groupon, said in an interview that Descript has repeatedly rejected requests to bring back a voice, including from “people who have lost someone and are grieving.” “It touches also on our fears of death and ideas about the way people could take control of our digital likeness and make us say or do things without any way to stop it,” Gregory said.
Although tech giants like Microsoft, Google and Amazon have dominated text-to-speech research, there are now also a number of startups like Descript that offer voice-cloning software. The uses range from talking customer service chatbots to video games and podcasting. Ahmed said the rare occasions where he’s allowed some posthumous voice cloning were for academic research, including a project working with the voice of Winston Churchill, who died in 1965.
I loved Anthony Bourdain, but let’s get real here…..this is creepy. Shame on the filmmaker for doing this!
Well this should put phone sex workers out of work. Anyone can sound like anyone and say anything soon.
After I see I can’t unsee it. I don’t like it at all.
This technology should be beta tested on Biden so we can listen to him speak coherent sentences, then never ever ever used again
MikeRezendes Not accurate at all.
Not cool.
Abuse of the new technology is larger than the use for benign uses and the media doesn’t like to talk about it. And THIS is what we need to be discussing before the new CyberIndustry controls our lives so thoroughly. Yet another industry which now controls us & Washington.
Anthony has many clips that could ha e been used. The tech is there ia nuat uses it and opens a can of worms. I can wait to awe I'd. Tony wanted us to awe.tge power of foods to cease war. The actual UN ambassador uses that power.

I wouldn't classify that film as a documentary.
As long as they disclose it at the beginning of the film, I have no issue with it. If they didn't then F 'em
Cool
Why the fuck did they think this was a good idea?
