On the Black Mirror AI show, documentarian David Attenborough and performer Salma Hayek made appearances, blurring the line between reality and fiction.
A computer-generated AI version of David Attenborough has been created, showcasing an impressive replication of his voice and storytelling style. This AI clone is a testament to the advancements in technology portrayed in Black Mirror, featuring Salma Hayek.
For those who have ever fantasized about having Sir David Attenborough narrate their life story, that dream has become a reality through the AI creation of Charlie Holtz. In a video shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), Attenborough’s distinctive voice describes Holtz as a cinematic character, highlighting his unique features with a touch of humor.
The seamless narration by Attenborough captures the essence of his persona, making the AI replication remarkably authentic. The demonstration underscores the tangible nature of AI clones, dispelling any notion of them being mere figments of imagination from a Black Mirror episode featuring Salma Hayek and Annie Murphy.
Holtz, who works as a “hacker at home” at Replicate, a machine-learning company, has been actively sharing intriguing AI experiments on X. One recent project, viewed by over 1 million people, leverages technology from Elevens Lab and OpenAI’s GPT-4 to enhance visual perception through AI.
While Attenborough has yet to comment on his AI counterpart, the reactions from X users reflect a mix of fascination and apprehension towards AI’s capabilities. The potential implications of AI on industries like Hollywood, as highlighted by Justine Bateman, raise concerns about the protection of actors’ rights in the face of evolving digital technologies.
As Holtz’s AI scripts become publicly accessible, sparking discussions about the ethical considerations surrounding digital replicas, the intersection of AI and entertainment continues to provoke debate and reflection within the industry. Despite inquiries, Holtz has not provided immediate feedback on these developments.
