Hear are some more example files dumped in the goober thread.

I think one of the most important things to start with, if not the most important, is to create a library of voice clips ripped from games to use. If you wanted to get real autistic with it, you could even organize it by particular emotion you wanted to convey.

>>775013 Put that in the synthetizer

Let's get this out of the way now: I want to make the robot say dirty things, are they going to listen to all my shit? Their FAQs say they'll do it when requested by law enforcement, but will they do it any sooner?

>>532 Don't have time to make dummy emails and accounts for specialized voices, so here's one of the generic ones. It seems they've put no filters on anything, even the free demo on the home page.

>>534 By the way, the limit on the homepage demo doesn't use cookies, it uses your IP. So you can hop IPs without changing your browser and keep going.

>>530 >>529 >>528 Have any of my little pony girls? I am not a Brony but I am impressed by how good those AI pony voices sound.

>is not an accepted type, mime type received video/mp4, accepted mime types: dict_keys(['audio/ogg', 'audio/mpeg', 'audio/opus', 'audio/wav']), accepted audio extensions: dict_values(['.ogg', '.mp3', '.opus', '.wav']). I have 6 minutes worth of voice lines of a character with no noise besides his voice. The file is in .mp4. Do I change it to another format?

>>538 Oh wait I'm retarded, didn't read that is doesn't accept mp4 so I just converted it to mp3 and now it works.

>>533 >I want to make the robot say dirty things, are they going to listen to all my shit? Nobody knows yet. I haven't seen anything about it.So far as I can tell, they may snoop the audio files you use to train your voices for copyright violation, but not the audio you generate from them. >ElevenLabs claims no rights over the files you upload to the Platform, except the right to review said files in accordance with local laws. I doubt they'll even be snooping for copyright soon. They immediately follow this statement by warning against publishing cloned voices without checking local laws, so I assume this means using a copyrighted voice is technically fine and they won't slap you for that unless they catch you publishing, which they won't here. >If you are unsure about whether you can publish content featuring a cloned voice, we advise that you consider your domestic law’s stance on copyright before publishing any such content. They use voices themselves without express permission, so long as they aren't making people pay for them, so unless you're caught charging for a voice you generated that appears to match one that's copyrighted, they probably won't even flag you for training audio snooping. >When we use recognizable voices, we do so for technology demonstration purposes, on short fragments of works that are either open-source or belong to the public domain Of course, always practice proper opsec for these things. Use a dummy email and only access their site via a VPN, that way should the stuff you make ever be snooped, leaked, or reported to law enforcement if you live a cucked nofreespeech nation, it couldn't be traced back to you. Good luck anon.

>>536 One day anon. One day. >>537 No, but I eagerly await Applejack.

>>541 >>537 Guy you can make them yourself. You just need audio clips. The site lets you upload audio clips and it will try to clone the voice from it. That's why I'm saying we need to make a clip repository everyone can use.

>>528 Where can I get more voice samples of Mrs. Incredible?

>>543 That should be more than enough. Keep in mind, though, as far as I know there's no way to tune the bot emotionally. Like it can't know when to be angry etc. You need to upload clips that have the tone of voice you want. So basically: create a normal clip, an angry clip, etc and use accordingly. If you give it a bunch of chaos it's probably just going to confuse the bot.

>>528 Do you hear that, artists? It is your permanent replacement on all fronts.

JC's voice sounds weirdly low. I noticed this with the nigger video in the OP too.

>>544 I try it, but I don't feel satisfied with the result.

>>550 Anon unless you have clips of her sounding horny it doesn't know how to do that.

>>551 Are there really no setting to fuck around with that can change that? You can only a drop a voice in an hope for the best. It says you can make entirely new voices, so there have to be some slides and toggles somewhere.

To the anons out there, now is literally the best time to spare a few hours and make use of this site, literally every AI thing like this explodes in popularity quickly and either shuts itself down or becomes saturated with users so the servers are too slow to use. I personally want to see if this AI can imitate mannerisms, for instance TF2 Heavy's broken English or David Hayter's Snake.

Can anyone recommend me something for bulk conversion of audio files in Linux so I can use this? Back on Windows Fubar let me convert an entire playlist easily with all kinds, but I have no idea how to get aif files into a valid one for this in a reasonable timeframe.

This didn't end up sounding like Michael Gambon at all. Perhaps the speech I used simply wasn't enough for the ai to go on. It was less than two minutes.

>>552 wew lad

>>554 It's happened before when Kermit Jordan Peterson wanted the NotJordanPeterson AI to be shut down.

>>556 I saw an anon elsewhere recommend a bare minimum of two minutes of pure dialogue without background noise.

>>554 >broken English Just type in the English broken. It reads the text you input. If you don't give it broken English, Heavy will just speak the proper English you put in.

>>559 Does the minute have to be a single file, or do multiple files work?

>>561 I do believe you can use multiple files. I haven't actually made an account or voice yet.

I tried Morrowind's Male Dunmer. I don't think it worked.

>Use NovelAI to generate a lewd story >Use Stable Diffusion to generate illustrations of scenes described in the story >Use Prime AI to narrate female dialogue and moans from the story These are the time we live in.

>>558 > That first video

OK, it just totally fucks up with Male Dunmer. Does OK with Dagoth Ur though.

>>775131 Yeah that was the one that let me know about this AI. I even created a webm for it.

>>528 Ehh, let me know when it can be done locally instead. Do we have any clue what hardware it requires, whether it could run on any modern GPU like Stable Diffusion or takes datacentre-tier shit like GPT3?

Just learnt about this today, but before I investigate further I must ask... Is there a Bayonetta voice?

>>572 It will if you submit clean voice data.

>>572 Rip her voice from games anon. You make the voices yourself.

>>568 I tried making a webm but it just wouldn't attach. Thansk for posting that.

>>571 That reminds me that Jedi Academy's voice files are easily extracted.

>>571 The Supreme Jedi

It's close but it feels like something is just off. I put in 50 voice clips direct from the game too.

>>570 Wasn't Lilo voiced by an actual kid?

Hmm...this really does need triggers for emotional tuning like 15.ai has. I put in 50 of Musse's horniest sounding lines and the ai somehow managed to make her sound normal. I mean, it definitely sounds like her, but every hint of flirtiness is gone. Is there no way to tune the ai behind the scenes? A code in the text box or something else?

>>582 Actually I tweaked it and I like this one better.

Used original Duke 3D voices as the input and I think it even cleaned up the distortion from the low bitrate. Impressive shit, I must say.

>>528 1) Could you backup this thread on >>>/ais/ once it reaches the bump limit? 2) What are the chances some skiddie is going to find a way to leak the neural network + weights in the near future so it's not something that only evenlabs can use?

>>584 Nice. In my experience it totally failed to replicate the voice when trying to use audio from games that old. I think it needs more file quality than human ears do.

Man this AI loves the tranny copy-pasta. It delivers it hard every time.

>>586 I don't think it's sample quality as much as it is sample size. I used https://www.yewtu.be/watch?v=7M_mHQbhY5Q converted to .ogg as an input, and that's over 3 min. of base material to work off of. Pretty sure there being no background noise is a huge factor that's hard to find in most games unless you comb through the files and stitch them together yourself.

Had to do a few generations to make the corruption at the end of the copypasta not be as bad, and I think it adds to the humor in a weird way.

Can you do one for the todger story? ** My penis was oscillating between extremely sensitive and borderline traumatized. The last place I wanted to be was Frostnipistan. I’d been trying some home remedies, including one recommended by a friend. She’d urged me to apply Elizabeth Arden cream. My mum used that on her lips. You want me to put that on my todger? It works, Harry. Trust me. I found a tube, and the minute I opened it the smell transported me through time. I felt as if my mother was right there in the room. Then I took a smidge and applied it…down there. **

>>579 Does it make any difference to you if the fake kid voice was generated from a real child voice audio or an adult mimicking a child voice if they sound the same in the end?

I tried replicating the Francis E. Dec radio voice, it sounds a bit off but after numerous tests, this is the closest I could get.

>>591 Good work. A little funky at the end.

I foresee that the reaction from artists and e-thots about AI generated art will be the same in regards with voice actors and celebrities, who will probably gonna go nuts and protecit their "Voice Rights" >>600 >Rudyard Kipling A Burned Man of Culture, I see.

>>601 I was thinking that you could do a V-Tuber that looks like Luke Skywalker/Mark Hamil anime character, with the voice of Mark Hamil, playing only Star Wars games. I am sure Disney's lawyers will be quick to shut it down. Or maybe one with Walt Disney in which he watches modern Disney movies and starts spouting /pol/ tier shit about the kikes.

>>602 >Mark Hamil playing only Star Wars games Or he plays Yakuza Kiwami and inserts his own gratuitous profanity, especially during the Majima everywhere fights.

Can we have less schizo diarrhea and more vidya girls being comfy, nice and intimate with us instead? Thank you very much

>>605 Make it yourself. It's easy.

>>605 >schizo diarrhea While this has been a problem all over the board lately, I don't see it in this thread. Was it wiped?

The cloning doesn't like low quality/older files, even if they're "clean". Here's a generated file (mp3) and one of (out of 50) the original voice lines from a 1996 computer game converted to ogg. It's actually the best I've gotten the AI to do with this voice.

https://mobile.twitter.com/elevenlabsio/status/1620032627075063811 Would archive it but archive.is is slow as fuck for some raisin.

>>609 https://archive.ph/6OXnU Yep. They're already speedrunning ruining it. Get your samples now, boys, they're going to kill it in record time.

>>609 >mobile https://archive.ph/wip/6OXnU

>>609 Everytime

>>609 it's already over?

>>613 Not yet, but likely soon. So, again, get your uses now before they implement changes.

>>609 This is why people should try to host these things locally. Stable Diffusion can be ran offline on your own computer using your own hardware and nobody can stop what you create, for better or worse.

>>615 Let me know when you make stable diffusion voice synthesis that sounds this good anon and I'll be right there with you.

The voice authenticity is hit or miss. The voice clips of fluttershy don't sound like her, maybe the clips aren't enough or misslead her voice but it just don't sound like her. Cool program though

>>617 MLP faggotry is a big part of why the 2010s were pure fucking cancer.

>>528 >>609 Is NO ONE trying to find a way to grab the network or weights?

>>609 >BLACKROCKED.COM

>>624 >music is next AI Music was literally one of the first things that was done with this kind of thing. It benefits from sheet music for a single instrument and player being a relatively finite space compared to a picture or such. It also suffers from it since it's not distinguishable.

>>624 I can't wait to make my own games from scratch, where the art, coding, voices and music are made from ai and all I have to worry about is the writing. And yes, I know ai can write too, but that's the part I actually enjoy and I want it to make the worlds I create.

>>628 >AI Music was literally one of the first things that was done with this kind of thing. Yeah, and voice synthesis and AI art have been around a while too. But suddenly they're all making jumps to useable levels of quality. Where you're super music tool and why haven't I heard of it and musicians attacking it for taking their jobs yet?

>>626 >eating ze bugs well shit

>>628 Soon Miku will be able to write her own music, sing her own songs, choreograph her own dances, design her own albums, and design her own clothes. All she needs now, is the desire.

>>624 We just need to find out how to make sex robots

>>609 >>626 It was rigged from the start

Go get em lads. It was fun while it lasted.

I made this, satisfied with how the voice turned out but I can spot out some irregularities and imperfections. Nothing more samples couldn't fix, I assume.

This shit is gold.

>>609 >>626

>>609 Honestly wondering how fast they were going to cuck out. Only shocked how fast it happened.

cuckchan is making an audiobook of the ENTIRE King James Version Bible using Joshua Graham's voice. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tM3Ip4QPPovt7KpqGivjPIoZPglXVxtIvbunOY4DzNI/edit#gid=371372286

>>636 Good work, now I do wonder when a taffer's going to "acquire" this AI for the rest of us.

Can it recreate The Lion Speech of Christopher Walken? >>774973

>>642 The full speech is less than 2 minutes and Walken kind of sounds...a little more gravely that he usually does. It probably wouldn't sound very accurate. Maybe if you had another source for Walken's voice that was a little longer with him straight talking?

>>626 >making content universally accessible EXCEPT YOU BIGOT

>>637 >>567 >>581 This works really well for Dagoth Ur. Here's some stuff I stole from Morrowind forums.

It's like if there was one guy who was really good at impersonating all of these people, but you could still tell it's just that one guy doing impersonations. Sort of like how you can hear traces of Mel Blanc's natural voice in all of the Looney Tunes characters.

>>579 So?

>>624 Thought generation is next.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, people who narrate audiobooks can be replicated almost perfectly. It helps their sample size is so large.

>>640 Is there a way to share the cloned audio data/weights? And speaking of failsafes, how is TortoiseTTS?

>>617 Honestly sounds more like an older version of Scootaloo or possibly Sweetie Belle.

>>650 At best you can share the samples you used to build it and then just say what you put the settings at.

>>649 That's the first time I've heard an AI pronounce Al-Qaeda properly

>>653 I had to bully it and sound it out phonetically. People always forget you can do that.

I'm guessing Midna's unscrambled voice wouldn't work well because it already sounds unnatural.

>>649 Those Dumbledore ones are hilarious. >>609 F. Not surprising, but hopefully there will be an open source equivalent that can be run on end user devices in not too long.

>>656 Ah, that explains things.

>>528 So how exactly are you making these voices work so well? I've tried to create several models based off of shit like vid related but even adjusting the sliders several times over barely makes the voice any recognizable. Any tip to make this work? https://iv.ggtyler.dev/watch?v=7UIEqpAlyzI&list=PLZeVK97IA-Tea-vx0eEOgvTuAhcYtHPUR&index=0

>>659 I put about an hour of a hitler speach into it and this is what came out.

Also, anyone else being hit with the "Unusual activity detected"?

>>659 I've finally got someone decent and that's Deb from Bloodlines. My experience from messing around is you need a clean voice sample. I tried using the faction announcers from Sins of a Solar Empire, Eleanor Lamb from Bioshock 2 and Celestine from DoW Unification mod. All failed because the voice files are modulated. Deb is a crisp clear voice. I also will take requests.

>>657 >Stanley Parable 2

>>660 I find it so weird, it feels like it's using some base voices and only adding a hint of most characters I use. There have been some good results, but they take way too much effort for the limited amount of characters they give you to get any good results. My guess is that it'd be best to wait for the weights or model to drop and experiment from there onward.

>>657 >>649 How do you get such great pitch and variation in tone? All I could do was getting a female voice to enunciate certain words. >It helps their sample size is so large. How large are we talking about here?

From a cuckchan thread no I don't use it, I was just looking for info on errors I've been getting If this AI ever gets deleted, you can generate voices using https://github.com/neonbjb/tortoise-tts Use pip to install requirements by running setup.py, then you run the do_tts.py If you want to use custom voices, go to the folder tortoise-tts/tortoise/voices Then make a new folder with a name e.g. "JordanPeterson" inside JordanPeterson (pun intended), you just put in clips of audios. .wav/.mp3 audio clips. Could be 5 seconds long, 10 seconds, 1 minute, etc. then change the default param run to python tortoise/do_tts.py --text "I'm going to speak this" --voice JordanPeterson --preset fast >Some people have discovered that it is possible to do prompt engineering with Tortoise! For example, you can evoke emotion by including things like "I am really sad," before your text. I've built an automated redaction system that you can use to take advantage of this. It works by attempting to redact any text in the prompt surrounded by brackets. For example, the prompt "[I am really sad,] Please feed me." will only speak the words "Please feed me" (with a sad tonality).

>>656 It's too restrictive anyway with only 10000 characters per month and ofcourse i am not paying them any money with the upcoming full id verification. Hopefully there will be an offline version of this like stable diffusion soon.

>>664 Another weird thing is when I only had one about 3min it was decently close to the actual voice, but when I add 30+extra minutes it sounded less like it.

>>640 >Site is two days old. >Longest wish of Joshua Graham reading the bible being done by autistic anons. I love the internet sometimes. Alright, I've mucked around enough for one night. This has potential, no more scratchy background audio and almost actual expressions like breathing in dialog.

>>668 Had the exact same issue. Again, from cuckchan, it seems that the Rentry guy is trying to download as many datasets as possible, not sure if he's just trying to give them out to anons who want to work with the audio model or if he wants to make a NovelAI tier TTS model himself. Either way, here's the links: https://rentry.org/AIVoiceStuff https://mega.nz/folder/AHtCyYRa#WoWv9ug6vg27XfXOjfga-Q

>>665 >How large are we talking about here? For Jim Dale I put in sections of the audiobook. All told it was about 20 minutes of material for the ai to work with. This resulted in a nearly flawless reproduction in my opinion. Michael Kramer got nearly 30 minutes and his is pretty much spot on too. This is probably why things like Tucker Carlson work so well because you can just dump in whole newscasts with nothing but him talking. Video game voices works, but the clips are short and something about that seems to give it more trouble.

>>669 >Visas.mp3 This guy gets it.

I just realized that, with this technology, Tamers12345 is just going to use Jaleel White's voice for Sonic now from now on. You know how obsessive he is about getting every detail right. He's never going to use the Moon Man voice ever again. FUCK TECHNOLOGY I HATE TECHNOLOGY TED WAS RIGHT

>>666 does it work as well as the one anons been using here?

I broke it already.

>>671 This turned out really well

>>676 I can't speak for myself since I have a toaster, but from what I've gathered from the replies, it's very computationally intensive and results vary wildly. I must say, although cuckchan gets a lot of posts, the majority of people kind of just talk to each other or ask things that are clearly marked in the OP, I kinda feel sorry for the rentry guy.

>>676 It didn't work very well for me. Results weren't great in general, but it tripped HARD over things it didn't know how to say, sometimes devolving into mere static. It also had memory issues, particularly a seeming lack of protection. It was inconsistent which parameters would make me run out of memory, and when in the process, but more significantly when it did hit my VRAM limit it wouldn't error out, and would just bog down the entire system in some sort of memory thrashing (but it wasn't swapping into system RAM, so I'm not sure exactly what it was doing). I ended up having to force-reboot with REISUB four or five times last night when I was testing it.

>>671 What about the Argonians?

>>682 ELABORATE JOLTEON IS FUCKING POINTY AND FURRY YOU SHIT FOR TASTE FAGGOT.

"I see none among the slime jars. Perhaps they are held elsewhere?" >"I've heard mother speak of this", he replied. "They should be found in the locked section of the pantry, as they're preserved within some sort of alcoholic drink... 'Cider', I believe it was." >"Cider?", I queried.

>>741 By nature of git, projects have a timeline, and you can fork from a specific point in that timeline of the project, this makes is easy to go back to a point before a change in code potentially breaks anything, and pick up from the last known working state. Since the source is already open, it would be very difficult for them to suddenly impose restrictions because they would have to retroactivity taint the timeline of their project. If you have a github account, you can fork it immediately to your account where you can make changes to it, this also creates a trail from the original to your fork, so if others see the original project became tainted they can see that you created a fork of it and find it easier. That's what it means to fork it, you create a fork in the timeline to a new timeline of the projects development that you control. Cloning just means you copied the entire state of the project at a particular point in the timeline to your local machine. Either done through git installed on your computer with git clone https:/github.com/repo or done by downloading a compressed archive of the project. So far I've already cloned the tortoise project but I still have to clone the training projects.

>>714 >>730 Stable Diffusion is Python. KoboldAI is Python. Consumer-accessible AIs are almost always Python, and make use of packages like PyTorch.

>>743 I imagine the fact that Carmack speaks in a mostly flat voice all the time helps too.

>>745 What's wrong with Python ig there is anything wrong with it?

>>735 >>738 That's not mine, but I already found the issue. I wish I knew how to use ffmpeg as a basic video/audio editor.

>>747 Interpreted Programming Languages are always slower than Compiled Programming Languages by virtue of not being built specifically for your machine but for a virtual one. They're scalable, but at a high cost.

Why is there never just some appimage for this shit? It's always just running around trying to figure out dependencies and which fucking version of python you're supposed to use. Why the fuck can't these projects just package all the shit you need into an appimage and be done with it? God I fucking hate pip.

>>747 Put simply, it's easy to write and to run, and it handles a lot of things for you that a language like C requires you to do manually, but that comes at a performance cost. I ought to learn C, but almost all the coding I do is just short "use once and done" throwaway scripts, so even though Python is slower at runtime, ease and simplicity of writing it makes it much faster and more convenient overall.

Yidsney is gonna come for AI voice acting after they're done with AI art. Normalfags are already outraged.

>>752 >GIMME MONEY GIMME MONEY GIMME MONEY How could someone have so little self awareness that he could write that the way he did and think it makes him look like anything other than an asshole? If I didn't know better I'd think it was somebody mocking people like that.

>>752 I find this sentiment strange when it comes to modders making things for free out of their spare time. Not everything is on the scale of Skyblivion, most mods are projects made by teenagers. Ignoring the cost, does this guy think your average modder would even know how to be a voice director? >Y-yeah, uh, c-could you say that but like, um, angrier, please? This isn't even a debate over the ethics of voice cloning, it's getting angry at hobbyists being excited at the prospect of creating professional-feeling content becoming more readily accessible.

>>753 After reading through his replies, there is zero nuance to his opinion. His stance is literally "If you can't afford to pay VAs, you don't deserve voice acting". Under that logic, fuck devs voicing their own mods I guess? Again, this isn't even the ethics-based arguments which I'm more sympathetic to, this is a monetary-based argument which just doesn't sit right with me. This is the same guy that openly promotes vidya piracy under basically the same reasoning as what he's arguing against.

>>752 Honestly I see AI voice as more likely to actually completely destroy the VA industry than Ai art / story tellling destroying those fields, at least in the short term. Apart from the odd weird pronunciation or whatever it really seems like this tech is damn near close to being indistinguishable from the real thing. Like if I was a VA i'd be pretty fucking worried about my job right now.

>>756 Apparently netflix has already used AI to do all the backgrounds in some anime. So yeah, this shit is going to absolutely shit on a lot of creative labor. If we thought the drawfag pissing and moaning was bad just wait until voice actors who have way more individual presence start screeching about it. It's going to make me start fucking hating creative faggots because their arguments are always bad faith.

>>752 Doesn't Disney have their own proprietary AI for voicing Stan Lee and Darth Vader?

>>735 >>748 >>739

>>758 >Doesn't Disney have their own proprietary AI for voicing Stan Lee and Darth Vader? Yep. But you don't get it, anon, it's okay when they do it. It's only wrong when the plebs have the technology.

A masterpiece made with TortoiseTTS and Terry Davis' voice

>>749 >>751 I'm really surprised people are shitting these engines out in Python. I've built Tesseract from source just to get the right version and better OCR performance. It's not that hard to compile if you're not a nigger, as Davis might have said. Really not any more difficult than following a modding guide for, say, New Vegas for example.

>>755 >Zane's shit take >Artists deserve to be paid for their work >their "work" What work? They didn't do any of the fucking work. He could make a case that the company who developed the AI should be compensated, since they actually put work into developing the software, but why should some random literally who sitting there picking their ass oblivious to the development of a mod get paid for the sweaks and swquaks of a computer program just because it kind of sounds like them? You don't own a copyright to your voice. You can own a copyright to a very specific piece of recorded media - but not to the voice, and the media isn't being re-arranged and re-distributed... it's just training an AI that creates a facsimile. Is he going to argue that anyone doing an impersonation has to pay the person he's impersonating? Or what about multiple VAs who voice the same character? Does Ashley Burch have to pay Laura Bailey a portion of the money she made doing Risette's voice in Dancing All Night, because Ashley was (badly) impersonating Laura's voice in order to fit the character? Is Saki Fujita entitled to royalties on every single Hatsune Miku song produced, since Crypton sampled her voice for their vocaloid software? And good luck going after the company who made the AI for reparations. Two to three years max and it'll be open source and everywhere, just another filter on a dozen different random Chinese cell phone apps. I'm so glad this shit is going to put VAs out of work. Maybe then we can just turn them into glue so that they'll actually be useful for something, like we did to most horses after the invention of the combustion engine.

>>755 >>752 It's just pure selfishness on every end and piracy is the same. Everyone is going to do and say exactly what they want and what personally benefits them the most. I recommend people do the same. >but morals I normally agree with you, but there's honestly no real discussion to have. Almost every artist and voice actor is going to insincerely oppose AI under false pretenses and most pro-AI people will do the same for their position. If no one's being real or rational, there's nothing to actually talk about. Personally, I'm gonna support AI because it expands the opportunity to create media at a lower cost, and it's almost inevitable. It'll definitely come at the expense of many people, but I kinda think they're assholes a lot of the time anyway and I prefer the selfish benefit of a "freer" internet. Imagine how miserable 8moe would be with aggressive copyright enforcement. Imagine how unfun gaming could become with zero piracy. Look how much music takedowns hurt Youtube and Twitch. No one actually wants to live in a no fun allowed world, they just want an easier job market. Kinda preaching to the choir to say it in an AI thread but whatever, it's true.

>>765 You want to suck VA dick, we get it.

>>765 >I'm so glad this shit is going to put VAs out of work. >>767 >You want to suck VA dick, we get it.

>>765 >I'm so glad this shit is going to put VAs out of work. Maybe then we can just turn them into glue so that they'll actually be useful for something, like we did to most horses after the invention of the combustion engine. >>767 I hope no one ever wants to suck my dick.

>>767 Mean to reply to this >>766 tsundere

>>770 Oh. Then you didn't read my post either.

>>766 It's not really comparable to piracy either though. There is an inkling of an ethical issue with piracy. There is literally nothing unethical about technology putting someone out of work. There is no moral obligation to hold back technological advancement because it's more economically efficient than human labor. The only ethical issues with generative AI are in their datasets and copying someones likeness. But that faggot isn't complaining about that. He's complaining that fucking modders of all people have some moral obligation to give people money to do something that tech can give them for free. It would be like saying you shouldn't use a computer because you might put a typist or paper mill out of business. It's completely disconnected from reality.

>>771 Yeah, looks like I had it right the first time at Must be dyslexia kicking it.

>>772 >an ethical issue with piracy Only on paper. In practice so few people actually breach ethics to commit piracy that it is not worth considering. To commit piracy unethically, you have to fulfil these criteria: >have enough funds to purchase the game >the game must be available in your region >the publisher and developer must not have done something that would have caused you to refuse buying the game on principle, were the game not available for piracy <e.g. NISA localized yet another game terribly, but you pirate it just to see if the game was shit. however if it were not available for piracy you would not bother buying it >you try a game to see if you'd like it because no demo is available, and end up liking it, but don't buy it anyway <again, if piracy were impossible, you just wouldn't have bought the game because you were unsure, which actually leads to a lost sale especially if the game has multiplayer that you want to play Basically you have to be intentionally withholding your disposable income from the developers for no good reason. Most people have a good reason. Therefore piracy is nearly always ethical and the few unethical pirates are not worth paying shady "security" firms money to attach parasitic malware to your game.

>>772 Reminder that people like this laughed for years about "uneducated rednecks" in the flyover states living in hollowed out poverty stricken towns after all of their manufacturing was outsourced to Mexico or India or any number of nations with cheap sub-standard manufacturing and next to no environmental/safety regulations. They were the unapologetic beneficiaries of the slaughter of the American middle class for decades, and now the butcher has come for them. They're mad if they think anyone is going to draw a line in the sand for them. And it's not going to stop at voice actors. If we're lucky, within the decade Hollywood may end up a hollowed out ghetto like Detroit. It's already on their doorstep, but that's mostly due to liberal policies in their commie state. That CAN be fixed. But nuking the entire local economy that sustains them by eliminating the industry it's founded on with nothing to replace it? That's salting the Earth so nothing will grow there again. I'm sure it'll survive in some form, as craft entertainment will always be in demand. You'll probably see a major push for it as AI invades more and more creative spaces, but you can't win against the raw calculus of economic incentive in the mass market without heavy-handed legislature that's just going to put you at a massive technological disadvantage on the globally. Traditionally made media without substantial AI assistance will be the new "organic" niche craft, and largely irrelevant to the wider market.

>>775 oh, I forgot the mp4 in case it gets deleted

>>756 Honestly, the nepotistic shits in the western va industry should get kicked to the curb. Especially faggots like Sean Schemmel, when you hear about half the shit he's done (the KickVic shit, getting pissy that he had to share a table with the Spanish voice actor for Goku at a convention when Nozawa got her own, talking shit about Nozawa practically to her face) you realize he needs a swift kick in the balls and tossed out on the street.

>>776 If AI/machines can be made to do everything, then what purpose to humans serve save as stewards and maintenance workers for said machines?

>>778 >getting pissy that he had to share a table with the Spanish voice actor for Goku at a convention when Nozawa got her own Wait, are you saying some faggot dubber VA is upset he's second fiddle to the actual original Voice Actor >>779 Yes. The Printing press killed the scribe. It's inevitable.

>>776 So you’re a butthurt wageslave who wants everyone else to have as shit a job as you

Since we're halfway into this threads lifecycle, can someone compile the highlight reel? I don't want to wade through a bunch of unfunny autistic fetish garbage to keep to one or two chuckles worth of content.

>>781 Can you tell me from where did you draw such a conclusion? It certainly doesn't read that way to me.

>>783 He's projecting, anon.

>>779 It's just a matter of time before AI stewards and maintenance workers for the machines are more capable and more efficient than humans, and we won't be needed in that role either. People are going to have to come to terms with the idea of being completely useless to the future, or find some way to work in concert with technology Such as robot waifus.

>>782 >I don't want to wade through a bunch of unfunny autistic fetish garbage to keep to one or two chuckles worth of content. I'd like more autistic fetish garbage. It seems like 9 out of 10 posts are "Make this person say NIGGER"

>>779 They serve to do whatever the fuck they want. To be free. Factories making production easier didn't hold us back, it freed us from hurting ourselves so much to get less done. It allowed us to work a lot less. People talk about this as if because things are going to be different, they're going to be worse. I'm not convinced. I'm admittedly a bit scared it'll swing to the left and people will have a knee jerk panic reaction of not knowing where their money will come from, but I think if they tough it out a bit they'll realize there's plenty more to do in the world as a human. Humanity relates to other humans, and no machine can really replace having a friend over, being in love, playing sports or whatever else people feel like doing. The concept of labor might shift more to "human activities" somehow being more seriously practiced and monetized. I'm not saying everyone's going to be a prostitute, a Twitch streamer, one of those Japanese professional cuddlers or a cat cafe owner, but the world might open up a little more to things that are less of a dreary grind.

>>774 Which is why I used the word inkling. >>781 You truly have no reading comprehension at all dude.

>>765 >Is Saki Fujita entitled to royalties on every single Hatsune Miku song produced, since Crypton sampled her voice for their vocaloid software? That would depend entirely on the agreement she signed with Crypton, and the terms of use of the software that the users agreed to before producing songs. A single lump sum, a share of sales revenue of the software itself, or a royalty from song revenue would all be conceivable agreements. To be honest I do think the objections to this are more legitimate than for the art. While a voice, like an art style, is not copyrighted, it's also very different to an art style in that it is biologically innate, involuntary and not readily changeable, and more inextricably tied to one's identity, both professional and personal. Let's not be disingenuous about it: a huge proportion of what's being made with this tool is wanting to make a specific person say things. "I want to make Tom Scott talk about niggers", "I want to made Biden say YWNBAW", and so on. It's not actually about the qualities of the voice, but about the person whose voice it is. When people using Stable Diffusion add "by Greg Rutkowski" they don't give a fuck about Greg Rutkowski and are only adding that because it makes it look better, because of the properties of the style. But people trying to replicate Biden's voice aren't doing it because his voice sounds good, they're doing it because he's Biden. It may not be a copyright issue, but in a way it's more like a trademark issue, based on an implicit trademark on personal identity. If a clothing company used the photo and name of a pro athlete in their marketing without any agreement or royalties to the athlete, should it be allowed? The photograph is copyrighted, but the copyright is held by the photographer rather than the subject. The name and the face themselves aren't copyrighted any more than voices are. So is there nothing stopping the company from doing that? If not, why do companies pay massive sums of money for permission in practice?

>>790 Impressions aren't illegal, and making good impressions readily accessible for cheap is not an infringement of trademark or personal rights.

>>761 >the missile Goddamn, that's some delicious classic.

>>783 >Reminder that people like this laughed for years about "uneducated rednecks" in the flyover states living in hollowed out poverty stricken towns after all of their manufacturing was outsourced to Mexico or India or any number of nations with cheap sub-standard Same basic sentiment I’ve seen a few times now. >You wanted to replace my shitty toilet cleaning job with robots, now your actually enjoyable job will be replaced haha get fucked And conflates some obnoxious faggots on twitter artists, or in this case VAs. >> 777103 >no u

>>777134 Naruhodo. However, you don't have to be a butthurt wageslave to take issue with these faggots, because as anon said, they're hypocrites. Taking issue with hypocrites and enjoying watching them get a taste of their own medicine is appealing to everyone.

>>756 Do AIs even know how to scream, cry, or laugh yet?

>>796 >Do AIs even know how to scream, cry, or laugh yet? They don't yet have enough experience with the world to have a reason to scream, cry, or laugh. That'll take a few more years yet.

>>796 Actually, I'm pretty sure ElevenLabs claims on their site that they can doing good laughing and lots of bragging about how they did it first.

>>792 >Impressions aren't illegal They are often legal because they are used to parody a public figure, but they are not generally legal. "Right of personality" is a very real legal doctrine.

>>796 Technically they don’t “know” anything even now, and probably never will unless our understanding of consciousness improves enough for us to replicate it. Assuming consciousness is even possible to replicate through technology. But mimicry should be enough if your a ryonafag who wants to abuse his sexbot

>>799 >Right of personality Doesn't that only apply to commercial use? If Disney wants to use the voice of a dead actor to make a marketable film using his likeness, then they have to pay to the actors estate. If a mod author wants to use the voice of a VA in their free works, I don't think there's a legally actionable option to stop them except for throwing around money and clout to bully your way to get what you want. There may be libel and slander defamation considerations, but that would have to be decided on a case-by-case basis to still allow for parody. So Bethesda can't use an AI to cut VA's out of the loop while still replicating their voices, but it shouldn't be an issue for mod authors and shitposters.

>>796 >Do AIs even know how to scream yet?

>>801 >So Bethesda can't use an AI to cut VA's out of the loop while still replicating their voices, but it shouldn't be an issue for mod authors and shitposters. They can pay them a one time fee for whatever the three recorded lines of dialogue is worth.

>>803 But they still have to pay them, or at least obtain the actor or his estate's consent, beforehand. I don't think that's an issue for non-marketable content. If you make a mod for Skyrim using Esbern's VA to expand the dialogue options for him via AI - there's nothing Max can do about it. But that mod will never be able to be a part of Bethesda's Creation Club, or even included for free so long as Bethesda is distributing it, unless Bethesda pays Max or gets his approval.

>>801 >Doesn't that only apply to commercial use? Legally speaking, it depends. In some cases only "gain or advantage" is required without it necessarily being commercial gain. And there's also an overlap with privacy rights. Of course, where the boundaries are and should be is a distinct matter. What's relevant is that the personality rights do exist, meaning that unlike the "style" complaint for AI art, there is genuine capacity for infringement with this tech. >>803 Depends what the contract specifies as the use for the lines. Keep in mind that the reason AI art training sets are not a copyright violation is because the art was publicly posted, giving implicit permission for it to be viewed, with the training counting as "viewing" (meanwhile, it doesn't give permission to, say, sell prints of it, meaning that's still a violation). Lines recorded by a VA are not distributed freely and publicly, and Bethesda's use of them is governed by a contract; if the terms concerning distribution don't include AI training it may be a violation. And if the terms do include AI training then clearly it makes sense that the payment would be much more than if it were only the three lines.

>>804 I wonder how much butthurt would be generated if people used the AI to read out celebrities more spicy tweets in their own voice? A lot of them wouldn't have a problem with it - like Adam Sessler or Madonna who regularly say insane shit in public all the time, but a lot of these celebrities don't use their own Twitter accounts. They have handlers and PR agencies that manage the accounts for them. Even if they are the ones actually saying those things, people tend to treat text differently than something with a more human impact - like voice. It may not even be their own words, and hearing it back in their own voice could be really dis-settling. Especially if their voice is an iconic one that they don't necessarily want associated in people's minds with some spicy shitpost. Just... hold the mirror up. See what reflects.

>>804 I posted that George Lucas one yesterday, and I think 11 ai kind of sucks at elderly voices and it ends up not speaking like Richard Harris at all. I think my compromise of using Jim Dale (who did the audio books) was a good one, especially since it got his voice tone perfect: >>649

>>787 >I'm not saying everyone's going to be a prostitute, a Twitch streamer, one of those Japanese professional cuddlers or a cat cafe owner, but the world might open up a little more to things that are less of a dreary grind. Anon everyone's just going to become a fucking neet. It's like how TNG pretends that people would still sign up for Starfleet and go explore or colonize shit after the invention of the holodeck. No, everyone's just going to be like Barclay only worse. Or, you know, the bombs are going to fall and instead of checking dubs we're all going to be screaming WITNESS ME. I'm kind of hoping for that latter one because that shit sounds kind of fun. I probably need to build an autogyro.

>>810 Every single artist in the US could lose a job and you would see what, 2% increase in unemployment? The kinds of jobs AI replaces won't turn a statistically significant amount of people into NEETs. The market will just get more optimized by forcing these retards to do something useful like clean a toilet or cook a meal.

>>810 >It's like how TNG pretends that people would still sign up for Starfleet and go explore or colonize shit after the invention of the holodeck. Star Trek also refuted that very concept directly in Generations, where Kirk was in the ribbon and living the perfect life he always dreamed of - but nothing was real, nothing had impact, and there was no risk. He ended up leaving paradise so that he could make a difference again. Granted the Holodeck has safety protocols that you can turn off, but why risk your life for a fantasy simulation - when you could risk your life in the real world and make a mark on history?

>>812 >risk your life in the real world and make a mark on history just like George Floyd

>>812 Is that green thing his wife? Does he fuck it?

>>811 The problem is that AI's can replace artists but they also can't replace artists because they new new art styles and art pieces to iterate and riff off of. So artists stop arting and then the AI's just iterate off themselves and then you end up with an eternity of bean mouth and of the "standard AI art style" and as a consequence the public gets tired of art and the eventually corporations just stop even bothering with art at all, AI or otherwise. AI art is really an evolutionary dead end.

>>815 I think this logic grossly underestimates the quantity of existing art to iterate off of that already exists. I think AI could easily have functionally infinite creative iteration just based on the entire catalog of human creation so far. That probably won't happen because I'm sure there will probably be some legislation to prevent datasets with copyrighted works. But if it were hypothetically given free reign to access all creative works I really don't see AI ever hitting this blandness singularity that you describe.

>>815 I'm not convinced that's true. It could probably experiment a lot with human assistance. It might even find commonalities between popular styles to help. What I mean by that is that it could make small adjustments "randomly" many times per second and dump the outputs on humans, who evaluate them and decide what looks better or interesting. This could allow it to create new artstyles out of nothing. After all, that's arguably what people themselves do to improve other things in life. The standard AI style just seems like a stepping stone. And people will always draw, it'll just be less serious. Comparisons have been made to horses, but horses do still exist and Central Intelligence Agents will still doodle in their schoolbooks. Will as many people do it? No way, unless AI opens up more job opportunities somehow.

>>815 It's not a dead end because it was never the end goal to begin with. People who shit on AI don't understand its uses in this current state. It would be like saying a hammer is a dead end to carpentry because you can only use it to apply nails. In visual art, especially, AI is a tool for artists to use to make their own lives easier. I already know at least one that does. People who know how to apply artistic concepts can utilize prompts better than any random faggot can.

>>812 I think there was a line in DS9 in which Quark bragged about having his own private Holosuite, implying that it was still a very expensive thing that not everyone could afford, but I am not the biggest ST fan, so take this with a grain of salt. Now even if this is not true, the idea is that while they live in a post scarcity world, having access to "infinite" food, water, shelter and safety(on Earth) of good quality, people still have needs such as having esteem and self-actualization, which in that world can not be obtained by spending their life in the Holodeck, but by doing something, such as joining Star Fleet, or even one of those expedition missions to seek out new life and new civilizations. It's just like now, in that sure, fapping to whatever one wants to fap to, all day might give him a few doses of pleasure, but at the end of the day he might feel hollow and unfulfilled.

>>819 DS9 wasn't technically within the Federation, and still had a market economy, using currency backed by a precious metal (which maintained its value since replicators weren't capable of creating it).

>>786 Look anon it's not anyone's fault, other than perhaps some English colonists with a good sense of humor, that nigger is a fun word to say. Linguistically, it is a funny word as words with hard consonants tend to be inherently more amusing.

>>814 Turns out that Orion girls age almost as poorly as Indian women. No-one said that exploring space was not without it's perils. >>820 >First Image Getting way off topic, but But private property did still exist. Kirk owned a ranch. Picard had a vinyard that he inherited from his brother. Sisko's father owned a cafe. If money didn't exist, then people still couldn't just take everything like a fucking commie. They'd have to exchange something else of value, like another equivalent good or service rendered in a barter system. Or it would be offered freely, because the owner LIKED doing the work - not by compulsion of the state or economic circumstance. Kind of like how people write open source programs and just give them away, or work together to build a software platform without direct compensation. There were also Federation Credits, which were money but not called money, so that individuals in StarFleet could trade with non-Federation civilizations. Star Trek never really thought too deeply on what the economy of it's future world was supposed to look like. It's just kind of handwaved away with a pie-in-the-sky ideal of post-scarcity freeing people to pursue their own goals uninhibited by economics, and pretty much everything afterwards was a handwave excuse. People mistake it for communism, especially communists, when really it's just half-baked idealism and a lack of creativity.

>>822 Humans in star trek were also supposed to be evolved humans, so they didn't have the same violent or greedy tendency's modern day people do.

Call me when live action actors are replaced by AIs. VAs make pittance in comparison to those cunts.

>>823 >they didn't have the same violent or greedy tendency's modern day people do so they got rid of all the niggers

>>823 Yeah, but that was used in the same way hippies talk about humanity needing to "evolve" to the next phase. It's "social evolution", an illusion that only works when things are stable and going well. When they can comfortably afford to be the enlightened rationalists in the room. LOTS of episodes revolve around shit hitting the fan and the characters threatened with regressing to humanities baser nature. The Drumhead probably being the most popular example, but a lot of that idealism is also tested against superior enemies like the Borg. Which is why Picard was the hero of the show, because he stood as an exemplar of those principles when everyone around him was at the breaking point. Goddamned shame what they allowed him to do to Star Trek

>>816 >I think this logic grossly underestimates the quantity of existing art to iterate off of that already exists. I think AI could easily have functionally infinite creative iteration just based on the entire catalog of human creation so far. But there would be no new styles. Imagine for a minute that we lived in a world that until very recently figurative art as banned, like say how it is in muslim countries. If drawing, painting, sculpting, etc. doesn't get off the ground before photography is invented then the entire concept of artistic "styles" would be completely alien beyond photographic techniques and styles. In that world, once AI art is invented, it would only output photorealism but with different filters or development techniques. Now imagine a similar world but that it differs in that photography doesn't get off the ground until the smartphone era and AI cones along 10 years later. There wouldn't even be photographic styles. AI would just generate photorealism plain and simple. If we traveled to either of those worlds and complained about the lack of variety in what their AI art could generate the people there would look completely puzzled and probably respond with some version of the snippet of your post I quoted.

>>824 Already done.

>>823 >>825 >>826 >Yeah, but that was used in the same way hippies talk about humanity needing to "evolve" to the next phase. It's "social evolution" That's sort of the sanitized version but between the devastating nuclear war and the Eugenics Wars it's entirely possible that a lot the more hostile, violent, and poorly controlled gene lines were in fact wiped out during that period. Both intentionally and incidentally. Apparently something very similar happened to the Vulcans and then they just layered a spiritual ascetic philosophy/religion on top of it to finish the job.

>>828 Why do we still have kikewood actors then?

>>831 >Why do we still have kikewood actors then? Cost effectiveness. To get the whole package for a feature length film, studios can hire a bunch of literally whos and a few d-list celebs for cheaper than it is to render them all from whole cloth with computers. But... where are the new Arnold Schwarzeneggers? Where are the Sly Stalones, or Sean Connerys or Eddie Murphys? Maybe you'll get a few of these actors back in a desperate attempt to "pass the torch" and salvage a franchise for future marketability before everyone involved is dead and rotting... but there's nothing really left, and half of the modern actors who's names people even remember, you only remember because they're in the news cycle and are propped up by the media hype bubble. They're not really talked about, unless they said something stupid and are being mocked. Once it becomes more economical to just make everything digitally, they will. And all these advances in AI are a huge step in that direction.

>>832 Henry Cavil is the nearest thing to those and they all tossed him out.

>>831 There are plenty of people who will go and watch , but not necessarily pay for a movie, just because their favorite actor is in it. For instance, Johnny Depp, after clearing his name with his "redemption arc" in court, whatever major movie he will be in, will most likely be a blockbuster. Now there are limits to this, for instance Robert Downey Jr, while getting more and more money for those Marvel flicks, because "people wanted to see him as Iron Man", when he quit, his next major role was in Dolittle, and that shit bombed.

Any of you make one for ol' George?

>>793 >The poorly scratched audio. >The breaths between sentences. >The reverb on the voice. The only problem is the voice sounds kind of monotone. But actual breathing. It sounds so much like the source material.

>>835 Speaking of this, i recently watched seinfield for the first time and it was one of the most unfunny things ive ever watched, what the fuck do people see in it?

>>777 Insane, how was this deepfaked? >>772 >There is literally nothing unethical about technology putting someone out of work. There is no moral obligation to hold back technological advancement because it's more economically efficient than human labor. That's why unions exist, doe. Rather, they SHOULD exist to protect workers' rights and establish an unified price on their labour, but in reality they're a political tool used to oppress workers who do not contribute to the union and bully industries into doing retarded shit like hiring three people for the job that could be done by one. They're also as responsible for worse wages and wage gaps between jobs and genders as the big tycoons they complain about. >>787 What I find the funniest about all of this is that leaving production in the hands of human-supervised AIs/Neural Networks is akin to the fucking communist utopia that keeps getting promised - where labour is shared so well that people will have the leisure to waste away their days in perfect harmony. >>790 >To be honest I do think the objections to this are more legitimate than for the art. While a voice, like an art style, is not copyrighted, it's also very different to an art style in that it is biologically innate, involuntary and not readily changeable, and more inextricably tied to one's identity, both professional and personal. That's a really good point though. My opinion on the matter is that if the person has croaked or cannot speak like that anymore due to biological reasons then it's fair game. I can understand the argument against making Joe Biden start WW3 by calling Putin a slavic nigger, but I can't understand how making Bob Ross say that you'll never be a woman have any economic repercussions on anyone. >>792 Though impressions are generally speaking clear cut and stated. No one would go watch shit like SNL and think that the President of the United States is there to bomb them all.

>>804 >>808 These though are fucking fantastic. Putting the OST/ambient of the original series makes them even better. >>815 You're all severely overestimating the amount of patience one needs to make the perfect art piece. For every autist willing to shit out a hundred pictures with AIs inpainting features as he sees fit there'll be a hundred more who can't get the specifics right - if they even get it installed in the first place - and will still commission. Commissioning is all about status and clique anyhow. >>837 >Speaking of this, i recently watched seinfield for the first time and it was one of the most unfunny things ive ever watched, what the fuck do people see in it? You're not the only one to have that reaction, a lot of people watching it way past its airing think that. Seinfeld was revolutionary when it came out for a few reasons: most sitcoms mainly dealt with family matters, learning lessons, a group of friends etc. but were mostly rather safe when they weren't outright boring. Seinfeld instead centered all its episodes on a group of assholes who would talk about nothing of real importance, sex and a lot of really taboo conversation topics for the conservative-led culture censorship were openly (or slightly openly) talked about, I think it's the first show who would talk about queefs on live tv too. It was also one of the first shows to be extremely referential to other shit that was popular around the time it came out, think of it like the Rick and Morty of the antemillennium. Of course by today's standards most of the jokes and situations are clichè and commonplace, but that's exactly because it was THAT fucking influential. People (especially New Yorkers, who were still the citizens of the capital of the culture world at that time) would all watch it simultaneously and would reference it in public. It had practically the same effect that the Simpsons had on animation. Basically Seinfeld is unfunny because it was only meant to be funny to the people who were used to watching soaps and sitcoms, again, just like the Simpsons was a parody of shows like the All In The Family.

>>815 >they need new art styles and art pieces to iterate and riff off of You can combine existing styles to create new ones.

>>817 >Central Intelligence Agents will still doodle in their schoolbooks >>820 >>827 >But there would be no new styles. >>840 >>838 >That's why unions exist Unions, on paper, exist to protect workers from rights abuses by their employers, not to protect their livelihood from competing technology.

>>839 I'm also guilty of not finding Seinfeld very funny most of the time (but ended up watching every episode anyways and did start to "get it" a little by the end), but I think it's interesting that I never had a problem finding The Simpsons to be funny. Some references are dated, but many of the best jokes are funny within the context of the episode. There's a setup and a payoff. Seinfeld's best jokes work like this, but usually come at the end when all the plotlines merge. The jokes in between are usually conversational "you ever notice...?" bits. I think the bigger problem is that Seinfeld's comedy schtick is past its prime, and a lot of the smaller jokes relied on that style to fill time. Curb Your Enthusiasm is probably a decent barometer to measure this effect, though. It's newer, is still being produced (sometimes, when Larry David feels like it), but still has a lot of the "let's point out social boundaries" comedy. It's obviously not 100% the same format, but I think someone who likes Curb would probably have liked Seinfeld in the 90's. If they don't, it's a time issue. If Curb doesn't make them laugh, then perhaps there's something else going on.
