A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

MODERATORS
Vocaloids were invented in 2000, with commercial release in 2004. Human singers aren't extinct yet.
It may be possible in the future for a synthetic voice to sound fully human with a full range of emotions. But I believe that human actors and voice actors will still be used because 1) it's easier to explain what to do to a human professional, 2) unions exist and they will push back against it.
Acting is an art. What world is it where robots do art while humans do the tedious manual labor?
Yeah but vocaloids suck and I've heard ai singing recently that made me double check because they were so good.
Does this suck? To my ears, it doesn't. Not unmistakably human by any stretch, but still pretty good. And that's 9 years ago
And by "AI singing" do you mean "a famous voice overlaid on another singer's performanse" or something closer to text-to-speech (text-to-song)?
I dont understand the language nor am i familiar with that style so i couldnt really judge.
Im not sure about your second point. I'll keep this in mind and the next example i come across i will come back here to share.
