If you think the AI making this song cover using in game voice lines is impressive, then you might want to watch the cover the youtuber did for the Pyro. Where the Pyro sang a cover of "I don't want to set the world on fire" Sure the engi had a verse or two, but most of it was Pyro. The AI he used, actually managed to make him sing.. Beautifully. Not mumbles but full ON recognizable singing.

added problem being it's only 16 minutes of sample voices when the recommended sample size is 3 hours

I may be terrified of the idea of AI running loose and taking down humanity… but this is a video I am certainly happy they helped make.
the mourning of a sapped sentry is tough
i went in expecting to have a laugh but in the end im just here vibing hard to this while contemplating my life
is no one gonna talk about how well the lip sync is? he does the meet the engineer movement and somehow still have good lip sync.
The person that made this used and edited the Meet The Engineer SFM project file :)
A friend told me that their is a "lip sync" function in sfm so they probably plugged in the song and used the old animation
It kinda looks looped after the first verse sadly
Couple verses
@@pdninja3338 Would make sense if it was done with the SFM lip-sync tool, it's notoriously inconsistent
Heartbreakingly beautiful.
The AI voice sounds genuinely human.
And it sounds like he's about to cry. T_T
It doesnt even sound that AI generated, it sounds more like his voice is shot from crying for an hour straight before making this
You know it's not the song that sounds sad it's the fact that now TF2 is still quite popular but one day it'll just be completely lost to time with only memories being the only thing we know about this beautiful game and that's what saddens me
We will all be forgotten. But today is not this day. Lets cherish tf2 while we have the chance.
the fact he sings it better

you can feel the pain in the voice

Man, I miss TF2 updates…
Also Engie’s voice conveys SO MUCH PAIN! Seriously the OG creator of the AI Gen voice singing did really well.
Bro, i'm on my feels right now after listening to this.
I have been playing this on loop for 7 days now
the best part is that the mouth sync is perfect
Sadly it's only for the first minute, after that it kinda falls off.
im an engie main, and i can confirm, this is a banger
A true diamond amongst the coals. The creator deserves more subs.
I agree, extremely gemmish but using this 'ingo outside of the sharty is coal.
@GyyroSyncc I'm failing to understand what you mean by 'ingo outside of the sharty is coal,' but 👍.
There's no coals in tf2. This is the most creative fanbase. I didn't changed this opinion in about 10 years, imagine how many fanbases I've seen
This is honestly how I feel when a steam friend never logs back in.
Laying down in the middle of the club crying.
This is way better than it has any right to be and I love it.
This has no right to sound as good as it does!
Awesome work!
Man dude this sounds so much better than the original, i just wish it didnt sound kinda distorted
unironically gave me goosebumps
I didnt think Engineer was going through this 😔✊
10/10. It’s so beautiful, I just can’t look away. It’s the only thing I listen to.
Dawg I can't stop listening to this song. It's like audible crack.
this song already makes me cry but god...engie sounds so genuinely devastated. :( this hurts but in a really impressive way
the first minute was PERFECT
This is an extended edit
That’s why only one part of it has lips sync
@@Eyeofdust what was extended?
The part with the lip sync i think
Is it just me or does he say "I wish I could be batman" at 2:48?
1:18 The spinning snipers brings this to the 2020s lol
quickly guys spam this video on twitter so valve sees it.
"you took my hand" literally. looking at you gunslinger
I’m torn. On one hand this version sounds so much better than the original but to say that means I’d disrespect the original, which is also a banger

edit: what? idk what i was saying there it was 8 months, last part might be wrong, oh now i realised what i meant, well it got better, its good again
