The Rabbit Hole:
FakeYou

So I stumbled upon this hilarious text-to-voice engine called FakeYou.

But unlike the usual dull robotic voice you get from automated nuisance calls, this one lets you pick a voice from a list of celebrities and well known characters.

Can you guess who this is?

I like chips with my sausage and mash - I know, weird right? 
I think it may have malfunctioned a bit towards the end.


I do all my stunts myself. I even once did a roly poly over a hill of skittles and broke my ankle while the scene was being shot - but I just continued. Because I am A REAL bad ass mother fucker!

I could spend hours putting these together, but then I won’t have time to write more inspirational content for you. With that in mind, I hand over the reins to you: Enjoy creating FakeYous.

Bonus:
Oh and if you’re into resurrecting famous people, have a listen to this completely AI voice podcast between Joe Rogan and Steve Jobs (nuff said).

It’s why I rely on people who this for a living to do the thinking for me.

Ad although I don’t always understand what they’re on about, I thought this was one of the easiest to understand explanations of how our economy functions and why we get this thing called inflation…
