Soon enough, artificial intelligence may be able to recreate the sounds — but there will be something missing.

    So, if I’m being honest, I am a little worried. This is my job. This is what I love to do, and I don’t want to have to stop doing it. The conventional wisdom in Hollywood is that the technology for making faces seem fully human is five years away. I fear that the voice equivalent is also coming.

    If A.I. takes over, maybe there could be some upside. I miss dearly Mel Blanc’s old Bugs Bunny performances. We’ll never get them again. But maybe with A.I., we can have more of them. Maybe it would work especially well if someone like me, who is intimately familiar with the subtleties of the character, could help recreate what Bugs Bunny was doing by essentially directing A.I.

      Mel is dead! All you get is wank that is pretending to be Mel.

      Appreciate and cherish the performances he gave while alive, instead of dressing up a dumb bot in Mel’s skin.

      It’s not human and it’s not a Mel Blanc performance!

        If people can’t yeah the difference, it doesn’t matter.

        That’s also why AI is so fucking scary

      Hate to say it, but AI-driven voice impersonation is not coming - it’s already here. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty damn impressive, and is at a useable state already.

      We’ve already been recycling so much, AI is just the ultimate border to create anything new. Don’t try to adjust to it. We can watch the old stuff and create new things, we don’t have to recreate the past in the present. Don’t give in!
