"Now we're blowing up Donald Trump's house," a vengeful American president can be heard saying in a clip that has spread widely on Tiktok and Twitter.
The voice that appears to belong to Joe Biden is produced by AI and has been superimposed over a clip from the game "Minecraft" where boxes of explosives are placed in what is believed to be Donald Trump's house in the game.
The clip is one of many similar humorous clips that have received millions of views where various AI tools, which allow the user to easily imitate the voices of famous people, have been used.
Several voices that can be heard include those of Barack Obama, Donald Trump and the political commentator Ben Shapiro.
DN's tech editor Linus Larsson calls the development in the field "extremely impressive".
- A few years ago, this type of voice was slurred and clearly produced.
And now today, I think most people can't tell the difference between a well-copied voice and the original.
Creates "official" numbers
The technology has also been used in combination with so-called "deepfakes", i.e. falsified videos and images, to, for example, create videos where Biden delivers what appears to be an "official" speech.
- It will undoubtedly be used for real attempts to spread misinformation and make it appear that a person said something they never said.
However, most existing clips have a joking purpose, which Linus Larsson sees as something positive.
- One consequence of all this is that you have to come to terms with the fact that a recorded voice is not something to trust.
That's why I think these spoof movies with presidents whining and swearing are good because it gets people used to the fact that this kind of fakery is possible.
See how the AI voices are used in the clip above.
