I Cloned My Voice and My Mother Couldn't Tell the Difference

This article is from Understanding AI, a newsletter that explores how A.I. works and how it's changing our world. A couple of weeks ago, I used A.I. software to clone my voice. The resulting audio sounded pretty convincing to me, but I wanted to see what others thought. So I created a test audio file based on the first 12 paragraphs of this article that I wrote. Seven randomly chosen paragraphs were my real voice, while the other five were generated by A.I. I asked members of my family to see if they could tell the difference.
