This is the best summary I could come up with:
"Here we have a remarkable specimen of Homo sapiens distinguished by his silver circular spectacles and a mane of tousled curly locks," the false Attenborough says in the demo as Holtz looks on with a grin.
Holtz provided the code (called "narrator") that pulls it all together on GitHub, and it requires API tokens for OpenAI and ElevenLabs that cost money to run.
During the demo video, when Holtz holds up a cup and takes a drink, the fake Attenborough narrator says, "Ah, in its natural environment, we observe the sophisticated Homo sapiens engaging in the critical ritual of hydration.
This male individual has selected a small cylindrical container, likely filled with life-sustaining H2O, and is tilting it expertly towards his intake orifice.
This has legal implications regarding a celebrity's publicity rights, and it has already been used to scam people by faking the voices of loved ones seeking money.
"Okay, I'm going to get David Attenborough to narrate videos of my baby learning how to eat broccoli," quipped Jeremy Nguyen in an X reply.
The original article contains 553 words, the summary contains 175 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Okay so we got AI live interpreting video, feeding this information into another AI which writes narration in David Attenborough style, then yet another AI creates a vocal version of this and now also AI summed up the article which describes the feat pretty well.
And how do we know you're not just another AI that summarizes summaries while adding a little bit of commentary?
Good bot!
