I am a legal counsel and IP specialist with technology expertise in software, machine learning and Web3 technologies. I also have extensive experience with medical devices and mechanical devices.

An AI-created episode demonstrates how much voice synthesis technology has progressed.

"Hello, freak bitches and welcome to the Bro Jogan experience," says a voice that sounds very like Joe Rogan. His guest is a voice that sounds very like late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.

This is audio by Uncanny Valley produced by Play.ht. Its the latest exercise in marrying #AI with voice synthesis.

They are starting by a major building block of it which is the emotional and expressive human-like synthetic speech generation and ability to clone any voice with perfect resemblance.

While the voices may be convincing, the script is still weird and disjointed.
