We made deepfake save simple and legal for you ๐. So now you can have fun with this technology. Try more than 30 templates with 12 voices. Send to a friend a parody Merry Christmas greeting from celebrities ๐คฃ๐
@jonas_petermann1 Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry that you didn't fully enjoy the app but we totally understand your point. We'd love to make or app more affordable or even free but, unfortunately, speech synthesis and video generating require expensive GPU servers. Also, as we want to be sure that the user-generated content is totally legit and safe, we have to moderate some parts of it manually so we have to pay moderators. But we're constantly working on the cost optimization process. Stay tuned!
Hi and Merry Christmas Product Hunt community!
HOW IT WORKS:
- download the Parodist app
- go to the templates section and the video tab
- choose the template
- write your name
- press the "voice the joke" button and wait for a few seconds
- DONE ๐
MOTIVATION:
One of the legit an ethical use of Deepfake technology it's a parody. There are several examples of some media and TV shows using it in their products:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020...https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/...
At the Parodist, we want to give an opportunity to create parody and having fun with this technology to all users, not only for companies who can invest a significant amount of money in it.
We realize the risks and potential harm of misuse of this tech, so we made it safe and legal. Users can only voice templates, which are made as a parody. In each template, they can change only the name to make this template personal. Each template is passing auto-moderation and human moderation if auto-moderation fails.
LEGAL NOTES:
All the voices in this app are parodied by Artificial Intelligence (AI).
This app is only for humoristic and entertainment purposes and does not aim to insult or anyone.
Only existing first, middle, and last names may be voiced. If the data entered by the user consist of the real name and any other words which are irrelevant, they will be declined and will not be voiced.
@new_user_db5beed7a3@joseph_santoro Yes, speech synthesis and video generation require a lot of server powers that are quite expensive. However, in the app, you may find one free voice template that you can test, check how the character pronounces your or someone's name, and even send the voiced result to someone.
Just my two cents: I can understand there are different costs associated with producing custom videos, etc. but a $ 6.99/week entry point itโs too high for the benefit (just for fun). You should consider a lower pricing tier / cheap trial / pay-per-each-use scheme. Also, you need a larger repertoire.
@ssthormess Thank you for your feedback! It's very useful. The reason why the entry point costs so is that there are users who make about a hundred templates on the first day of usage and that significantly increases the server and moderation load. I'm thinking about changing monetization from subscription to pay for each template used. I'll test it soon.
