Fun with deep fake audio

This is equal parts funny and frightening. Deep fake technology has progressed to the point where audio and video can be manipulated in scary ways.

A YouTube channel called Vocal Synthesis specializes in creating some very odd fake videos. For example:

1. Jay-Z raps the book of Genesis

Keep in mind that this is created completely by speech synthesis program. Jay-Z is not impressed and has filed a lawsuit.

2. Frank Sinatra sings ABBA’s “Dancing Queen”

Not completely accurate, but it’ll do.

3. Finally, imagine the havoc this could wreak when it comes to election campaigns.
