    Tech Xplore[^]:

    The capability, unveiled at Amazon's Re:Mars conference in Las Vegas, is in development and would allow the virtual assistant to mimic the voice of a specific person based on a less than a minute of provided recording.

        Reminds me of The Exorcist!

        The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

          There should be a required question to ask before adding any new feature: "Is there a Black Mirror episode[^] that did this already?" If the answer is yes, don't add it. :laugh:

            Prasad added that the feature "enables lasting personal relationships."

            By definition a personal relationship with deepfakezombiegramma is impossible. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Are we sure Prasad is an actual human being and not Skynet's avatar?

            Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

              So instead of moving forward there is going to be people that will speak to their "beloved ones" and probably explain more than they should, because the are speaking with the "beloved ones" and not with Alexa... Good move, data Octopus... abusing the feelings of sad people to get more information about the people to do profit... And the worst is... that some people will even think, they are doing them a favour :doh: :doh: :sigh: :sigh: :sigh: :mad::mad::mad:

              M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
