Jay Z Deepfake Shakespeare Rap
Deepfake videos are getting scary good. Although most of the clips transport celebrities into films they've never been in, YouTuber Vocal Synthesis is more about the vocals. The creator used a text-to-speech model trained on the speech patterns of Jay-Z to impersonate the rapper reciting the "To Be, Or Not To Be" soliloquy from Shakespeare's Hamlet. While Roc Nation has requested the video be taken down citing it unlawfully uses an AI to impersonate their client's voice, the video-sharing platform declares there's insufficient grounds from the claim.
