For some reason the VibeVoice model from Microsoft (which is also able to clone voices and is also very good) has been deleted from GitHub 10 days ago even tough it was released under a MIT license. But this post shows that the cat is out of the bag for some time already now (post is from 2021) and we have to live with this technology.

    The reason is known: "we discovered instances where the tool was used in ways inconsistent with the stated intent"

      The stated intend would be scamming people I guess? What would be the other ways inconsistent with that?

        And that's why people need to clone these repos from big companies when their first released.

          Cloning the repo isn't enough, because Microsoft/Github still control the platform, and can delete all copies they have control over.

            Cloning the repo (running git clone on your computer) is enough because it makes a local copy. Forking merely makes a copy under your account on GitHub though which is not going to survive if they go on a deleting spree.

              Yes, you are correct. I used the word "clone" when I should have used the word "fork" instead.

Does anyone know for sure if Voice ID has security measures to protect against AI voice cloning?

      In fact, the YouTube video the GitHub repo links to is from 2019.

      It looks rather complete, but indeed - the project has 3 commits for the past 3 years.
