I mean is more the original audio skill and the classy voice of the engie actor These AI covers are basically just paper above the original audio, so if the original has amazing singing is very probably that the Ai cover will sound fine too, if the voice is well trained of course
@@NugsForPugs remember that the first ai stuff (the really croppy stuff which could still copy the mercanary voices) became popular 2 years ago. now its almost fully clear, and its only been like 2 years lmao im guessing in under a year
AI voices are going to revolutionize modding for games like Skyrim where you might want to have voiced lines with vanilla characters. This has been an issue for so long, making modded characters fit seamlessly into a world and this would do a LOT to help with that.
Hearing this sung in a voice I'm not used to but with the same inflection, timing and passion makes it so obvious how talented the original artists were. Wow can they ever sing, Hall and Oates are insanely talented musicians.
Yeah, I was surprised to find that listening to this really made me appreciate the artistry of the original!! It really highlights the talent as you say. I do also love TF2 so that's a bonus too : ) Love this vid
Be an actor for decades Get a job at a video game company voice acting Move on back to acting and never return to voice the character again - 15 years later somebody takes every single one of those voice clips and forces a robot to string together a rendition of Out of Touch by Hall and Oates Huh?
I'm sorry but "forces a robot to string together a rendition" sounds like the AI was held at gunpoint to make this. As if it was scared of its own creation
I don't even think it's gonna take like 10 years. My assumption is that it will be perfected in 2-5 years. I mean look at the progress we've already made.
So true. It’s hard to imagine what it will look like in even one year with how fast it’s improving. The next few months will be insane. I’m calling it here.
I mean it can only go so far with the amount of source metarial because TF2 has alot of screaming and angry voices so even if AI improves it can only imitate whats there.
Why is this, of all things, the best ai cover? It sounds like proper, English language singing, passion burning through, no hiccups. And it's Engineer singing Out of Touch.
Holy shit I was not expecting this to be so good. And you can totally tell that its engie singing, most of these sound nothing like the person it's supposed to be
I'd say the amount of authenticity coming from this lil AI concoction is scary, got me wondering just how far they can push these voices to make songs. Legitimately have my drink in hand as I was watching this and as always I sung along, but really, it's flipping phenomenal this stuff, the parts where Engie vocalizes with pure soul. Got me wishing I could make any TF2 character sing a playlist of goodies. Thank you for this 🤠
That's a charming idea for a SFM music video! I can imagine Engineer going really ham and soulful on the mic and Heavy and Scout exchanging "not bad" looks in the background.
This is truly, TRULY incredible. It makes me think of just how far the TF2 Community has come to get to this point and makes me wonder just how far we'll keep running with the funny video game mercenaries far into the future.
Its actually creepy how realistic it sounds, like normally the AI voices always have a crack here or there where you can go "oh yea its an AI making the voice," but with this, its _DAMN_ hard to find those moments
@@TheGielnik For the pony autists they channeled the pure autism to manually manipulate the vocals. Not to discredit AI it's just doing what people would anyways faster.
"Wow... I am truly humbled by your kind words. It's an honor to hear that my cover has had such an impact on the community. I just love to sing, you know? It's my passion, and to know that it can have such a powerful effect on the minds and hearts of others is truly a blessing. Thank you so much for your kindness, it means the world to me. I hope to continue making music for all of you in the future, and to continue bringing joy to the world through the power of my voice." -The Engineer, responding to the community's support of his cover
voice actors: ai will replace us we gotta stop it before they start using ai trained on our voices without permission in media model trainers: haha make him sing 80s classics
The AI is so good at singing this avoids being funny altogether and is just a high quality cover. I’d expect nothing less from someone smart enough to be an engineer
This is absolutely gorgeous, I love how they don't sound like a mix of different phrases. I know that the mixed sentences are a staple of TF2 memes, but it always trew me off a little. But anyways, really good work!
What the actual fuck, this sounds so good Seriously, this is going be my favourite version of this song And the perfect high notes too, the ai is getting out of control
God DAMN that new AI that piggybacks off dialogue is impressive. Pretty soon people'll be able to make their own full-blown scripted shorts. Imagine a fan-made continuation of the Expiration Date pilot!
U already can lol. Its hard tho cus for accents like demoman and stuff, it doesnt really change it. But it makes voice actors do an even better job tho
Lyrics: Shake it up is all that we know Using the bodies up as we go I'm waking up to fantasy The shades all around aren't the colors we used to see Broken ice still melts in the sun And times that are broken can often be one again We're soul alone And soul really matters to me Take a look around You're out of touch I'm out of time But I'm out of my head when you're not around You're out of touch I'm out of time (time) But I'm out of my head when you're not around Oh oh oh oh oh oh Reaching out for something to hold Looking for a love where the climate is cold Manic moves and drowsy dreams Or living in the middle between the two extremes Smoking guns hot to the touch Would cool down if we didn't use them so much, yeah We're soul alone And soul really matters to me Too much You're out of touch I'm out of time But I'm out of my head when you're not around You're out of touch I'm out of time But I'm out of my head when you're not around Oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh You're out of touch I'm out of time But I'm out of my head when you're not around You're out of touch I'm out of time But I'm out of my head when you're not around You're out of touch Time But I'm out of my head when you're not around You're out of touch I'm out of time Not around You're out of touch I'm out of time

Love how the entire TF2 community collectively agrees that Engie is the best singer out of the cast
He's simply the most charismatic and kind hearted one and he knows how to play the guitar. This sounds pretty gay and idk maybe it is
Howdy the engineers in the field…
I’d say that I can only imagine Medic and Spy singing and their style of music is probably slow somber music in their native tongues

The longevity of this game is incredible. I played it when it was new and spent my gap year on it.

Wow I did not expect engie's voice to be this clear. It may not be perfect yet but it's really good. AI is becoming more advanced.
In 5 to 10 years it'll be indistinguishable.

It’s not about perfection; it’s about the possibility
I don't even think it's gonna take like 10 years. My assumption is that it will be perfected in 2-5 years. I mean look at the progress we've already made.

Lyrics:
Shake it up is all that we know
Using the bodies up as we go
I'm waking up to fantasy
The shades all around aren't the colors we used to see
Broken ice still melts in the sun
And times that are broken can often be one again
We're soul alone
And soul really matters to me
Take a look around
You're out of touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're out of touch
I'm out of time (time)
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Reaching out for something to hold
Looking for a love where the climate is cold
Manic moves and drowsy dreams
Or living in the middle between the two extremes
Smoking guns hot to the touch
Would cool down if we didn't use them so much, yeah
We're soul alone
And soul really matters to me
Too much
You're out of touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're out of touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're out of touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're out of touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're out of touch

But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're out of touch
