AI Voices: Red or Not.

Musings on types of AI voices, our inherent reluctance to them and when they may be useful.    

No More Fake News

How even the diehard conspiracy theorists are beginning to notice Fake news for what it really is.      

AI and Our Data

 On how the data being used to train large language Artificial Intelligence models was never ours to give away in the first place.    

South African Elections (2): The Parties.

On how the election polls have moved from ANC with moderates to ANC with radicals, with two weeks to go.

 On online news censorship, traditional online journalism and social media “news”.   Nothing really new as far as production is concerned, although someone mentioned that the voice sounded 'hollow' or like I was speaking in a boxy room. CupCut allows you to export the audio file separately. So I have tried various audio adjustments using CapCut itself (not great), DaVinci Resolve (really too complicated), AudioCity and Oceanudio. Really can't hear a difference, so it may be due to the speaker that person is listening on.
