Hey, I'm Hank Ataria. I'm here at the New York Times to discuss whether, uh, A.I. can replace me.
I do many voices, mostly on The Simpsons.
Like motorbot and, uh, sissing on.
Or a police wagon.
Suspect is headless. Repeat, headless.
Or Snake, um, the convict.
I'm taking this thing to Mexico.
Or Professor Frank, of course, the scientist.
Uh, Superintendent Chalmers, one of my personal favorites.
Yarr, the old sea captain. Yarr.
Duff Man, of course. Duff Man, purveyor of duff beer.
Hi, this is Hank Ataria.
I'm in some mysterious, undisclosed location of the New York Times building.
I'm recording my voice, and we're gonna see how A.I. can recreate it, and see how closely it can match or not.
Okay.
This is Hank Ataria.
I am not actually Hank. I am a bot. An A.I.
Do you think this actually sounds like me?
It mispronounced my name.
I'm Azaria, not Azaria.
It felt like what it was, which was just, um, a vocal version of printed text.
Hey there, this is Moe, the bartender, speaking to you.
How would I describe my clientele?
Uh, sleazebags, uh, scumballs, um, jerkwads, uh, morons, all of them apply.
This is Moe, the bartender.
You should come to my pub sometimes and have a duff.
That was way off.
Um, it doesn't have enough gravel in it.
And it's missing a lot of sounds that Moe should make.
It's not here, it's here.
If we were trying to sound like a robot, that would be a pretty good version of what we were trying to do.
I didn't really think about A.I. seriously in terms of voice acting until about a year or two ago.
Obviously the Scarlett Johansson thing.
Scarlett Johansson saying this voice used by Open A.I.'s virtual assistant, Skye.
Hello, I'm really excited about teaming up with you.
Sounds, quote, eerily similar to her own.
I think there's a humanness that the A.I. can't do right now, at least vocally, and may never be able to do that involves a character's motivation, certain emotions, subtleties of physicality, facially or otherwise, that add up to a human being.
The biggest misconception people have about voice acting is that it's from the neck up.
Your body has to get into it.
If I'm running and I have dialogue, it's easier just to be running.
Okay, Homer, I'm coming.
All right then, I'm getting tired.
I'm going to stop running now.
Okay, Homer, as soon as I get this wood stump, I'll be there right with you.
I hope that there's donuts afterwards.
I'm going to kind of do it, you know what I mean?
You're going to stick something in your mouth.
That makes the cigar in your mouth sound quite convincing.
Now, I hate cigars.
I wouldn't actually put one in my mouth, but a pen is perfectly fine.
Actually, this is slightly gross, so I'm going to take it out.
People are going to listen to and enjoy and watch what they like, and they're not going to care whether AI generated it or a human generated it or some combination of the two.
Right now, what AI generates by itself as mode of bartender or anything else isn't going to cut it.
But if it does start to cut it, people are going to listen to it, and they're going to be grateful that it's so readily available.
Look what happened to the music industry.
I cried a tear because the record industry reinvented itself.
I got to listen to all the music for free all of a sudden.
So I don't think people are going to feel much differently about any of this.
