Artifact was certainly a game by Valve

In the left pic: a hammer near the sink, blood on the sink, beer in the shower. In the right pic: a pretty sus photo under the phone cover (did she beat her abusive father with the hammer until he got into a coma and get happier as a result?). On both pics: a framed picture referencing Untitled Goose Game

Does this suck? To my ears, it doesn't. Not unmistakably human by any stretch, but still pretty good. And that's 9 years ago

And by "AI singing" do you mean "a famous voice overlaid on another singer's performanse" or something closer to text-to-speech (text-to-song)?

Vocaloids are far from perfect, but they can be damn good in hands of a good producer. Plus, isn't that the original point? "AI VA were invented so soon all VAs will be AI"?

And to produce the example you provided, it required a big voice bank from people who are very experienced in voicework. Top Gear/The Grand Tour have over 200 episodes where the hosts have basically the same characters throughout the show spanning like 20 years. And it still ain't perfect. It's damn good, but there are hiccups here and there.

So to produce a good AI voiceover, you'll need experienced people doing a lot of work. And to get experienced human actors you will need humans acting. Hence, my point

Well, I meant it more like "can you imagine how horrible such a world is?" Not just "can you imagine it?"

Because yeah, you barely need to imagine it at all

Vocaloids were invented in 2000, with commercial release in 2004. Human singers aren't extinct yet.

It may be possible in the future for a synthetic voice to sound fully human with a full range of emotions. But I believe that human actors and voice actors will still be used because 1) it's easier to explain what to do to a human professional, 2) unions exist and they will push back against it.

Acting is an art. What world is it where robots do art while humans do the tedious manual labor?

Why didn't he just order to win the whole war? Would've been just as effective

This is bi erasure and I won't stand by it

Well, he has Elon Musk in his display name, that definitely is 100% synonymous with bullshit

To summarize:

There was a dude called Igor Girkin, he was in the Russian military. His crimes include, but aren't limited to:

  1. Shooting down Malaysia Airline MH17 in 2014
  2. Torturing and executing Ukrainians
  3. Terrorism in Eastern Ukraine under guise of separarism
  4. Involvement in the annexation of Crimea (at least illegally crossing the border as a part of military force and threatening citizens)

is arrested in Russia for saying that the Russian army is performing poorly in Ukraine and Putin and Shoigu (minister of defence) are not managing the situation appropriately.

It shows that in Russia, showing honesty about war is more of a crime than murder and terrorism. Combined
