The Future of Language: AI-Generated Speech Breaks Barriers
In an intriguing demonstration of emerging AI technology, a recent experiment showcases how artificial intelligence can emulate human speech with astonishing realism, even in languages the speaker does not understand.
A Simple Experiment in Language Simulation
The creator uploaded a short 30-second clip of themselves speaking English to an AI-powered website. In the clip, they say, "I don't speak Italian," despite not having learned Italian nor speaking it fluently. Interestingly, the AI then generated a version of the clip where their speech appears to be in Italian, with the AI mimicking their voice and intonation, despite the original language being English.
