Bonusode: The AI-Files: A Synthesised Message From Richard Tubb (Almost!) to MSP Listeners
Could you tell the difference between a synthesised voice from a human one? And if you knew the speaker was AI generated, would you keep listening or switch off?
An Experiment With AI-Generated Synthesised Voice Recordings
Trying out an AI Synthesised Voice
In a unique bonus episode of TubbTalk, I discuss why I want to do an audio version of my popular MSP Insights newsletter.
I explain that many MSPs prefer to listen rather than read. If you’re busy or commuting, it’s easier to have audio on in the background.
But, as recording audio content is time-consuming and sometimes draining for me, I prefer to write an update instead, as I explain in this podcast episode.
Except the voice you hear in this episode is not me speaking at all. 😲
What you’ll hear is a synthesised version of my voice, created with an Artificial Intelligence-based voice cloning tool called Descript.
And it turns out that using an AI synthesised voice means I’m in good company!
Our community Manager Steve reliably informs me that Arnold Schwarzenegger uses on on “Arnold’s Pump Club.”
So if I get good feedback on this show, can I say that “AI’ll be back”?! 🤓
Could Using an AI Synthesised Voice Save Time in Your Day?
What do you think? Revolutionary or world-destroying?
Would you use voice cloning in your own business?
And, would you enjoy listening to a recording knowing it wasn’t really the person you follow but a voice created with AI?
Would this technology save you time, either as a content creator or content consumer?
Let me know in the comments or get in touch. I promise the real Richard Tubb will reply! 😄
