AI Voices Gone Horribly Wrong 2

Introduction

I recently stumbled upon a bizarre instance involving AI voice dubbing technology from 11 Labs, which promises to seamlessly translate audio from one language to another. Intrigued by its capabilities, I decided to put it to the test by translating a video through multiple languages and back to English. The results were chaotic, hilarious, and nonsensical.

The Initial Video

1. Original Content: The video started with a casual conversation, with someone mentioning they had a video that they were sure others hadn't seen before. Upon playing the video, odd phrases started cropping up, with a recurring insistence that "the phone is ringing" interspersed with more dramatic lines like "you left me homeless."

2. Voice Swapping Feature: Using 11 Labs' voice dubbing feature, we translated the video into Russian and then back to English. The translations wavered drastically, leading to a mix of somber, comedic, and downright confusing excerpts.

The AI Translation Chaos

1. Back to English: After translation, some examples included:

   • Erratic expressions like "the Medusa head" and odd reviews of "Jinky hang."
   • The surreal declaration, "rest in peace animator," popping up unexpectedly.
   • Interspersion of random exclamations like "Mickey Mouse."

2. Internal Monologue and Randomness: The AI-generated speech ventured into nonsensical territory:

   • Phrases like "we do not like the sky" repeated without context, resembling a counter-spell.
   • The distortion of coherent speech into fractured and unrelated statements.

The Resulting Transcripts

1. Audio Checks: During further tests, sentences often lost their original meaning entirely. Queries like "What will it say?" ended up producing meaningless, yet humorous lines.

2. Content Loss and Misinterpretation: The text mangling went on with oddly poetic constructs such as:

   • "Chicken nuggets were so tasty and crunchy that I could hardly contain myself," turning into extensive, verbose sentences.
   • Portions of the video changed context completely with no resemblance to the original subject.

3. Eerie and Disturbing: The AI's output sometimes suggested deeply personal and unsettling plot lines, e.g., mentions of unsourced relationships and inappropriate content.

Funny and Surreal Moments

1. Random AI Outputs: The AI often spat out phrases with no relation to our input, like "I'm so hot banana" and "banana banana banana."

2. Technology Misfires: Commands meant for virtual assistants were placed into the script, making Alexa or Google perform unexpected tasks, irrelevant to the test.

Conclusion

While the promise of AI-driven voice dubbing holds potential, this experiment highlights its limitations. The translation through multi-language circuit exhibited significant deviations from intended messages, leading to strings of chaotic and humorous output.
