A company is voice sampling previously recorded audio of Roger Ebert and using it with text-to-speech software that he can control himself. Sounds pretty accurate and can definitely recognize his voice in it. The clip I saw was from the upcoming Oprah interview. It is an interesting glimpse at some future human reality. So many layers to this story and one that I’m glad no damn predictively-inclined person like myself tried to predict.
