This Should Scare You 

I hope popular streamer Ludwig doesn't use ai to impersonate good youtubers like mogul mail

That intro segment that was played definitely did scare me…that was NOT a mogul move

The fact that they asked her again so close to the release makes me think they already trained it on her voice and had the soundalike voice actress as a backup

Tech bros and not understanding consent. Name a more iconic duo

1:08 huge opportunity missed to say "and I'm not talking about spongebob"

That's pretty damning to reach out for permission two days before.

There's 0 chance they didn't choose someone who sounds like Scarlett on purpose. Instant recognition with people who haven't even seen the movie and just general appeal for something like that would be more than enough reason to do so. I'd say I'm not into all of that but if they make the Ana De Armas AI from Blade Runner 2049 I'm cooked

The fact that they want to replicate Her as much as possible just shows that they completely missed the point of the whole movie.

I just want to see our old ass judicial system try to catch up to AI chatbots and voicebots. Tbh, they won't catch up to that... They will just look at the internal memos and make OpenAI pay ScaJo for trying to use Her-like AI voicelines.

In the movie Her, they show the importance of real human connection in the end, and how AI is not the answer. Looks like Sam Altman didn't understand or care about the point of the movie.

I don’t know if LLMs will be what breaks the camels back but if there’s one thing the last 5 years has taught me is that proactive legislation will always be too slow and accelerationists will act in self interest at the expense of us all.

I think Scarlett Johansen will be one of the first cases to outline the rules of AI if she does bring OpenAI to court.

My issue is that they've continued not addressing the hallucination issue. Generative models have no way to fact-check the information they spew out, even using their own training data, and that's reflected in the fact they continuously get things wrong. And it isn't like a human getting something wrong, where a correction results in a change, with generative models you just have to keep generating until it isn't wrong. More powerful models are better at hiding the issue, but there is still no process to eliminate the model just making shit up. Yeah, someone's gonna try to fuck the robot, they already are with inferior versions, but the underlying issue with the "groundbreaking" stuff is that occasionally it's gonna tell a kid that the hypotenuse is actually the shortest side of the triangle or translate a conversation about the weather into one about how nice this clear blue sheep herder is. The issue also gets markedly worse the more complex and niche the topic. Sure, weird translation is fine for pleasantries, but deeper conversation? You want to accidentally tell someone from the congo about the virtues of colonialism? Anyways its funny that open ai has fully committed to the identity of "Good news! We invented the torture matrix from famous science fiction novel: Please Don't Invent the Torture Matrix!"

maybe it’s just me, but it’s kind of horrifying seeing that AI teacher. There’s going to be so many awful repercussions just because of that.

The fact they asked again 2 days before is insane.

Always remember, kids, the hypothenuse is always opposite the 90° angle, in a triangle that has one. And a^2+b^2=c^2 only matches the pythagoream theorem, if it's describing a triangle with a 90° angle, and if c is the hypothenuse.

You *know* Altman has a TTS model with ScarJo's actual voice done up and ready to go at a moment's notice. In fact, I bet his admin-level version of GTP-4o speaks to him in her voice.

Anyone who thinks stealing someone's voice is okay just needs to lose their jobs to an AI or have identity theft/fraud via AI committed against them in order for them to get it...

0:33 you can see him trying not to laugh

there's literally a black mirror episode about this in the new season

Apparently there's a historical example (precedent) where Ford hired impersonators of singers for an ad when the original singers declined, and Ford lost the court case when the singers sued (Midler v. Ford Motor Co.).

1:08 just like spongebob just did...

Holy shit Mogul Mail broke into Ludwig’s new setup again? He can’t keep getting away with this.

It for sure doesn’t help that Scarlet Johanson is kinda big on Actors rights. She won’t need some settlement, she will likely go all the way for answers.

The AI respond to the interview question literally gave me chills due how realistic it sounds...just nah bro, this is getting freaky af...

Not Ludwig saying he only uses AI for TTS when he admitted yesterday to using ChatGPT for every Japanese lesson he's been doing

I think what makes it crazier this isn’t the first time this happened with Scarlett Johansson. Back somewhere in November of 2023 she sued an AI app for making AI photos of her and using her voice in an advertisement on Twitter. She was always vocal on this stuff, in 2018 talking about ai begins with p ends with n, and how it was so widespread that her team couldn’t do anything about it, I’m pretty sure Atrioc mentioned it in his apology/update on what he’s doing/done to try to fix what he did, showing how big the issue at hand was

This is the same thing that has happened to artists since all the AI "art" stuff came out. It's disgusting and The founder of the AI model basically said "well it's already out there now so nothing we can do" So disgusting behaviour!

I like this format and how the remaining tabs is a sort of a reverse progress bar for the video.

Robo Rizz got me bricked up fr 😞

all it takes is the AI to mess up while translating and there goes your visa

OpenAI trying to catch the biggest and juiciest class-action suit in history 😂

Legit, I appreciate your Mogul Mail content so much.

The law of unintended consequences is strong with this… entire situation.

Her, Detroit become human, now this - Scarlett can't catch a break from ai lol

i was just reading about this on reddit and then mogul mail uploads about it. good service.

00:42 seconds was the climax of the vid

Lud's face during the spongebob voice tickled my pickle

0:29 I felt that

AI rizzing me up before i get ready for an interview so i get all giggly on the interview

As a teacher watching this on my break, I really enjoyed the first ~45 seconds of this Mogul Mail!

i remember ti8 when openai was introduced to dota 2, who knew theyd go this big.

"that's the Malenia of lawsuits" killed me lmao

If you steal from the rich you go to jail trying to make it rich…. If the rich steal from you, they get richer

I actually really like these type of videos, I'm not always caught up with these small things that are happening in the world.

this is INSANE and I'm really glad to see Ludwig commenting on it

At 3:32, I love how the contrast between all of the technological and cultural advancement that humanity has gone through is displayed. On one end; there is OpenAI, a fenomenal tool for all sorts of utility. And on the other end, there is "Pizza axe". Oh the humanity, how I love it. I did a thing surely wins this for me, sure is funny!

He looks so sad at the beginning

Big difference between using a Spongebob sounding voice and having a Spongebob sounding voice that says it is Spongebob. The latter is infringement, the former is not.

Instantly translating a conversation is the best use of AI I’ve heard so far.

hella dystopian

RIP to anyone listening to the intro with max volume while having no headphones on

This video was amazing to me. About to graduate with a degree in cognitive science and trying to get into the world of AI legislation, what you have said has been so much more representative of AI than what most "experts" have claimed on mainstream news outlets like CNN. There's a lot of misinfo out there about AI because it's complicated but props to Ludwig for actually doing some research.

Should be an easy case. If there's a different person behind the voice, it doesn't matter how she feels about it. Imagine if a studio was going to film a movie and asked her to be in it, and she said no. To my knowledge, it is not illegal for them to go hire a different actress that looks a lot like her if that was the original look of the role for the movie. Even if they put the script together with her in mind. Her saying since I said no, you have to now change the look of the main character is a very bold thing to do.

Wtf Why is Mogul Mail in the same new room as the other less attractive streamer Ludwig

He’s saying stuff that’s true

“that is illegal” “there is no legislation” hmm.?

the pain in luds face during the spongebob voice hahaha

Coming fast like spongebob

So when everyone will be able to clone their own voice, all those who have a voice similar to any celebrity won't be allowed? Finding a solution to this is not easy. For the flirty part, if you don't want it to be so you can just tell it and it will adapt to your preference (many people don't get this). I personally also don't think that's the default way the chatbot is going to speak, they might have used it just to showcase the product.

Thank god for you Lud, seriously. You report stuff that actually matters to the new generations.

Saying "they transcribed" is also wrong. They paid laborers in southeast asia pennies to transcribe the videos.

an etimology guy on tiktok said that over 60000 papers were made with ai in the past year by looking for bias of specific words being used

How natural and realistic the GPT-40 sounds like is what scares me. It looks like we're straight up heading to some cyberpunk dystopia where majority of the population dates some AI girl/boyfriend, and that honestly scares me. We laugh and joke about it now, who would be lonely enough to date such a thing? But AI is barely taking its first baby steps, imagine in a couple of years how unbelievably good it'll be. And once it's virtually impossible to distinguish if the person you're talking to is real or not, there's a huge amount of people who'd choose to date the perfect parter you can have immediately without any effort rather than go out into the real world.

00:28 He looks so sad, so defeated

if youve ever used autocorrect or upscaling youve used ai

If OpenAI merely hired a voice actor with a scarily similar voice, it might be hard to prosecute them

the thing is, the positives do not outweigh the negatives. so many of the positives aid in loosing the interpersonal connections that make us human. and that is a huge, terrifying problem. also nice room hope chat doesn't mess it up with things that may or may not spin

Just to be correct settling a lawsuit is not winning and has no affect on future lawsuits.

Governments need to start regulating AI before it's too late.

WHY WAS SPONGEBOB SAYING HIS OWN NAME???????

The only thing that scares me is buzzcut Ludwig.

The one takeaway I'm beginning to get from your videos, is that the secret to being a famous youtuber, is to have 2 channels that people treat as 2 different people, despite your face being shown in both. The problem with voice similarities in AI, is that no matter what voice you use, it'll sound like somebody, and eventually you either need to change it to a droning robot voice, or accept that people's voices cover almost all sounds.

Every time Greg Brockman is in the news I just think about how crazy it is that he was my roommate for a semester at MIT when he transferred from Harvard

maybe lud has actually been ai generated this whole time

5:04 these people need to log off and touch grass 💀

its not technically illegal, there's no way the own the IP of a text to speech that happens to sound like spongebob, they'd need to prove it was trained on spongebob's voice which is easier said than done and even then i'm not sure if they'd own the voice of the character.

You can’t say something is “illegal” and immediately follow it with “there’s no legislation at the moment.”

TESTICLES TESTICLES TESTICLES

1:09 same

Oh no don't steal from my million dollar streamer.

the gaze of disappointment, sadness and regret in ludwig's eyes when he plays the sponge bob AI voice explains so much.

4:10 theyre just staring at the phone instead of eachother

Art and music should be off limits for AI, ai should be used for those jobs people hste, not their passions

Dont ask me if I like your stream room, im not your friend 😂

I feel like Lud changes stream rooms more often than he changes his underwear

i mean if they actually hired a different voice actor that happens to sound similar, what exactly is the issue? people with similar voices certainly exist.

Based

I so excited for crazy tech. It doesnt scare me bc I have no value as an influential person in the world, it would scare you way more than most of us.

That spongebob text to speech is so cursed

ai is literally ruining my life right now because i write formally and at a high level for school so detectors come back like 80-90% ai written (i am also an artist. double whammy)

The singularity point is fast approaching...

1:17 No, it's not stealing from you. A human can watch your video and train himself with it (either learn English, memes, trends, etc) and it's perfectly normal. What's not ok is if said human copy you to create a new work. But if it just used your video as inspiration/ideas/training, then it's perfectly fine. Anybody can train trying to paint the Mona Lisa. Anybody can see the Mona Lisa, and create a new work with the picture of the Mona Lisa somewhere in his memory. However, recreating the Mona Lisa (or something close) is not okay. And just the last part is the stealing part.

The funniest part is that Her movie point was to warn about the danger of Ai, and openai, the only thing they made is exactly that

"That's illegal", a few seconds later: "there's no legislation at the moment". Lol

Seems like I am the only one who didn't think it was a Scarlett Johansson imitator.

The only thing scary is how rapidly businesses will be able to adopt these technologies and how slowly the governments of the world are going to be adapting to it.

8:37 The biggest accomplishment is winning a lawsuit against nintendo.

ScarJo WON against Disney, AND somebody tried again. "She won against Disney", o7 for chat(gpt)

Nah. It’s chill. Can’t wait for AI Ludwig to be my friend :)
