The Infinite Conversation website, rolled out by Italian artist and programmer Giacomo Miceli, features a nonstop "chat" between artificial intelligence versions of the German director Werner Herzog and the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj iek.
Featuring realistic voices, the site serves as a social commentary on audio deepfakes.
Said Miceli, "This project aims to raise awareness about the ease of using tools for synthesizing a real voice. Right now, any motivated fool can do this with a laptop in their bedroom."
Miceli added, "The generation of the script itself is done using a popular language model that was fine-tuned on interviews and content authored by each of the two speakers."
