Wasn't there a Warhammer lore Attenborough channel already?

I think it was this one but they had to change the voice because of a copyright claim.

Is this new? Streamers and youtubers have been using David Attenborough ai voice for months. I doubt any of them are authorized.

I believe the novelty here is that the AI is deciding what to say about him on its own. It's not just reading a script.

I honestly kind of doubt that. It's too good.

He posted the source code. It's taking a picture, passing that to GPT which is instructed to output text in Attenborough's style then that's fed to the voice deep fake tool.

Ah okay. Well maybe GPT 4 is better than I thought. I'm kind of happy to be wrong, it's really impressive if it's real.

Maybe I can finally achieve my dream of a "documentary" where David Attenborough narrates a bunch of construction vehicles as if they were dinosaurs.
