Dearest Loaf-heads and crust-freaks,
Our readership is now the size of a small country and I feel it is my duty as our de-facto President to make sure I give you, the people, a voice.
So I asked you to hit “reply” in the last email and tell me what you’re working on.
My dearest gluten-children, you did not disappoint…
You’re an entrepreneurial bunch and I was astonished by the sheer boldness of some of the startups you all have launched.
One of you is building a revolutionary cryptocurrency that will overthrow nation-states. It is unclear how exactly it is different from Bitcoin, or how exactly said nation-states will be brought to their knees, but that makes the opportunity all the more tantalizing.
Another reader shared details on an AI-powered dog-walking app that will make Rover look like the primitive dog-feces tracking GPS service that it is.
One of you boldly proclaimed, “I’m working on getting CBD on the blockchain.”
Visionary.
But, alas, there was one startup that rose above them all: WellSaid.
As I began to wrap my head around the mind-stretching potential of this small upstart’s technology, my pupils dilated, Java Monster Coffee + Energy™ ejected from my nostrils, and my now ex-wife Esmeralda demanded I tell her what had me so riled up.
“AI voice artists,” I uttered, slowly wiping the now-congealing half-soda, half-coffee beverage from my keyboard. “AI voice artists.”
Indeed, WellSaid has built a completely humanlike, AI-generated voiceover tool that lets you pick an AI “voice artist” and have them say anything you’d like.
Morgan Freeman, beware. These AI voices can narrate your product explainer videos, they can provide voiceovers on that indie video game that you’ve been meaning to finish the last 6 years…. A couple of them could have even replaced that guy from Her’s digital girlfriend after that absolutely heartless breakup.
Check out this absolutely ridiculous demo of one voice in action (this voiceover is NOT a human).
So, there you have it: a TechLoaf reader has built a text-to-speech AI tool that can produce perfectly humanlike speech.
But wait...
I demanded that this reader give access to their service to other TechLoaf readers. After all, this is a gluten-community.
And alas, they have done just that.
As of today, any Loaf-head can request access to this absolutely mind-stretching technology by clicking here.
The future has arrived...and it's being built by your fellow Loaf fans.
Loaf On To Infinity,
Carl “Cantana” Cantana, Esq.
