Microsoft creates an AI speech tool so realistic they decide not to release it

Microsoft has created VALL-E 2, a text-to-speech AI tool that is so realistic that they have decided not to release it to the public, fearing misuse of the ability to impersonate other people’s voices.

“VALL-E 2 is purely a research project,” Microsoft’s researchers wrote. “Currently, we have no plans to incorporate VALL-E 2 into a product or expand access to the public.”
