What is artificial intelligence (AI)?
“But the voice is not just a sound. And I would like to think that no matter how many AI versions of Moe or Snake or Chief Wiggum it will sound like my voice, something will still miss something – humanity. There is so much so much who I am, it goes into the creation of a voice. He wrote.
Ai -ja Marva Bailer expert told Fox News Digital, “When we look at the animated characters, there is a person behind that character, and there is a person behind the voice, because the character is identified by the picture, but also that unique voice and voices are AST” only reading script .
“I am sad to think about it. Not to mention, it seems to be simply wrong to steal my character or sound – or anyone else.”
She continued, “He did it for a very, very long time. And while communicating with these characters, he developed, developed new personality and ways in which the characters respond with each other and the new characters they encounter, just as we do as people.

The “Simpsons” star Hank Azaria says “willing” to step down in the middle of APU controversy
“The voice generated on Ai has enough little things that will make you think something is missing,” said The Birdcage star. “It’s just not convincing or ridiculous in the same way that seems to be a-gear-raised faces in the video, there is a lack of elements that would make them credible and human appearance-with a widely micro-expression and gestures are not quite fine.”
He explained concern about the technology that influenced his career, acknowledging: “There may be some aspects of performance that AI can improve.”

“So, if I’m honest, I’m a little worried. This is my job. That’s what I love to do and I don’t want to stop doing it. Conventional wisdom in Hollywood is that face making technology looks completely human for five years. fear that the voice is equivalent It is also coming. “
“Something that does for us is if we have an idea or creativity, and we want to know how something sounds or thinks or looks, and maybe we don’t have it in our repertoire or our community, it can give us these inspirations, “Bailer said.” And that’s really what Hank brings to the picture. “

The “Godzilla” star also shared to see some positive aspects of technology, such as recreation of the late Mel Blanc, expressed by Bugs Bunny.
“Maybe it would work particularly well if someone like me, who is closely familiar with the subtlety of the character, could help re -create what Bugs Bunny did basically by directing AI,” he suggested.
“The whole opportunity for nostalgia is worth it,” Bailer said. “And we see these new experiences in which Elvis revives, where Abba comes to life, and there are situations in which actors or estates or property owners are diverting that content. And yes, this can be created in a new path for a new generation.
She added, “We work should protect our IP And continue to do a great job to be people and then use AI as that assistant to accelerate new experiences that we may not even think about. “

There is also another consideration of use of AI when it comes to “Simpsons”, aging of roles.

“How many actors can say they have been working on the show for 35 years?” 70-year-old said diversity. “It’s just amazing. But it was time to devote my time to other creative efforts I have, like a movie.”
“It was a difficult decision,” she added, “but I feel like it’s real.”

Hayden said the output manufacturers auditioned for new actors for the role and offered advice to make it his own.
“It’s a sticky wicker in the sense that, I think it’s never good to just make an impression. It’s a difficult task [to] Put your seal on the character, but to keep sounding like a character that has already arisen, “she said.” You want them to bring their gift to a party. “

“I’m not thinking about it, so I just won’t think about it,” he added. “But certainly, only if the show ever makes the last episode.”
Bailer noted: “Eighty percent of us will acquire a disability during our working years. So there could be a scenario where you should go to work, and you have to read the script and beyond, and you have a cold and your voice does not sound like last week or You actually had a serious car accident and now your voice doesn’t sound like that. [AI] If it can adapt your instrument fine, that would be a good thing. But again, it must be transparent. Agreements need to be established, and transparency and ownership is actually what will be important. “

Azaria concluded that, regardless of Ai -‘s possibilities, it would still need a human element behind the scenes.
“I think we’ll still need someone who knows what to do in his mind and heart and soul. Ai can make a sound, but people will still need people to perform. Will the computer ever understand the emotion, what moves and what is funny?
