alt Hacker NewsYesterday night I was doing a project with QwenTTS 1.7B.
After some debugging, making a clean dataset with clean recordings, and experimenting with a good fine tune recipe (much props to the new GPT models yesterday being cheaper).
I was able to make a robo-me that sounds absurdly good, family was shocked, all in a matter of a few hours.
So yeah the cat is out of the bag for sure.

Its so crazy to me how prevalent bad AI voices are, when local models can do such good AI voices

Yeah I was doing that at the beginning of this year with voice samples locally from hollywood-stars with Qwen3-TTS.
It took like 1min - capture something from a youtube or video and put in your own text. It worked also really good for a german test.
Made a voice message for my wife from one of our favorite actors, telling here how nice it would be to make some breakfast :D
