I am really starting to hate that the only thing that gives me is soft female voices speaking a language other than English. Capitalism plus the Algorithm of the hellsite means the robots just toss me into the softcore hole or the hole and call it a day. Or sometimes the porn vtuber hole, if they're feeling frisky. And then I just have to live with my YouTube front page being filled with a mix of techmoan and girlfriend roleplays for months because I fell asleep while listening, forgot to turn off autoplay, and didn't wake up when I got tossed into the pit of sexy pseudo-Japanese shark vtuber furries and booby clickbait thumbnails. And I just know AI Girlfriend apps are the only ads I'm going to see for a month.

This might be the only ethical use for AI voice cloning once it improves a bit: I could just train a voice I like and have it babble endlessly soothing gibberish for hours. I'm not hurting the artist, because I wasn't engaging with her content anyway; I can't, and don't want to, understand a word she's saying. So this is the one case AI would actually be less objectifying.

@fastfinge literally if AI could produce my asMR I'd be in heaven. IT can produce perfect descriptions, and other things, of stuff, but,, sound... I don't think AI could do this.

@dodecahedron Eleven Labs is getting close. Just gotta find a prompt that works regularly, have it generate 30 second chunks, and stick them together with a script. Depending on what your ASMR actually is of course.

@fastfinge I've considered something similar. I'm not one who likes to fall asleep to voices, but I know there are a lot of people out there who do. Just have AI make the best sleepy-time voice for each person, then speak random nonsense. This could also work for background noise during the day, when someone wants the company of a voice but isn't paying attention to it.

@alexhall @fastfinge Never ever fall asleep to your wife/girlfriend's/partner's voice while they're talking. It never ends well.

@alexhall @fastfinge I tend to fall asleep to tech videos I was actually interested in watching which is anoying as I have to work out which bits I missed. It is a good way to try and get to sleep though.

@fastfinge Dubbed a completely German woman talking today into English with Eleven Labs. They even gave her a German accent. It was pretty cool.
