Recently,
a few listeners have sent me videos from YouTube and Instagram and TikTok that use these new AI narrator voices and a few of them sound suspiciously like me.
Now,
I've been on the front line of this whole AI voice clone thing for a while for our own testing and just my curiosity.
We even use a AI Dallas voice when we're putting this very show together and then swap in my real voice once we have the story nailed down.
But because of all this,
I have a hunch that my voice is ending up as training material for some of the AI voice programs that people are using.
I want to make an episode about this, but I need your help.
I need tons of examples.
So if you're on YouTube or Instagram or TikTok and come across any videos that sound like me,
please send them over.
You can email it at web at 20k.org, use the contact form on our website,
DM me on whatever platform you see it on or mention me,
and I'm really easy to get in touch with, so wherever you find me, just send it over.
If you like 20,000 Hertz, especially our music episodes,
then there's another show I know you'll love called You'll Hear It.
It's an incredible music podcast where each episode breaks down a different jazz or jazz-influenced album,
including John Coltrane, Stevie Wonder, The Angelo, and many more.
It's hosted by two musicians who have great chemistry,
and they even perform songs from each album with their four-piece band.
