FUTURE PROOF INSIGHTS | Consumer Neuro’s Post

It's clear I am one of the few voice professionals here that is a big fan of speech to speech technology. Maybe this video will help explain why. It has 8 versions of a cue, 1 is the original, and 7 were generated by "feeding" the original to voice models from Eleven Labs. Can you tell which number is the original and why you think so? This technology is not going away, and I believe this actually offers talented actors an opportunity to get more work for themselves, adding up to much more lucrative sessions. This is not text-to-speech, what you are hearing requires a real actor. I think the results are pretty fantastic, especially given how new this technology is. Within a year or two the ability to have authentic accents, much huger libraries of voices, the ability to easily mix voice models together design new voices, and to have your own library of voices will be here. Some of these features already are. I like to think of this technology as the equivalent of an actor wearing a mask and finding the voice that is inspired by it. Hearing my voice with completely different timbres is inspiring for creating new characters. So, if AI voices are so sterile and lifeless, it should be easy to identify the original, right? So which one do you think it is and why? https://lnkd.in/ebggc4v7

Generative atoms has expanded Nibble's ability to show shoppers we are listening to the things they tell us *without* sacrificing Nibble's control over the negotiation or opening it up to an LLM-gone-wild scenario. Only the first bubble in the below image uses generative copy – the second is fixed, pre-written copy using a combination of Nibble's negotiation algorithm and atomised copy. You can find out more about how generative atoms work on our website – link in the comments below!

Very few will understand the profound nature of this article. But the ones who do will have their minds stretched. –- I'm not going to summarize. Find the time to read. And to think this through. Just this: You've asked yourself the question "Is it real or fake?" many times. You used to think things like "Is this photoshopped?" Now more often than not you think "Is this AI? Is this ChatGPT?" or "Is this Midjourney?" But the real question isn't "Is it real or fake?" The real question often is "Is it real or not real yet?" We've entered the "Age of Imagination." The distance between thoughts, your ideas, and reality is collapsing. This is scary when you see how propaganda, fake news, or fake people make it seem like nothing is real anymore. But it's also exciting. That's the flipside. You, me, everyone is now able to create our own realities. --- A few years ago I wrote about how to create reality. Here: https://lnkd.in/enc9KYY2 And here: https://lnkd.in/ecWmhUm2 It's not nearly as good or complete as this article. But reading this makes me want to go back, revisit, and re-write. Actually, Nick Susi, I think there's a book hidden in there somewhere. Think about it! ;)

So much of my work with young people and also in the world of human-centered design is people work. Its creating change, opportunities for learning and development, and driving collective action for a better world through connection, relationships, and what makes us human. After leaving the classroom and being less proximate to young people in my every day then reimmersing in the world of young people with Maryland Leadership Workshops (MLW), it was clear that something has shifted. Young people are craving deeper relationships with eachother, they’re struggling to build meaningful connections, and they are so aware of how screens are impacting their lives— sometimes for the better and other times not so much. This conversation was such a teaser! There was so much to get into from Jonathan Haidt’s book “The Anxious Generation,” but I am so thankful Michelle Culver created the space and opened the discussion— one that I think we’ll continue to have as we navigate tech-based futures and building a world where all young people can thrive. A few design questions I’m holding after reading: - How might we create scaffolded learning opportunities for young people to build interpersonal skills in an increasingly tech based world? - How might we provide adults with the tools and mindsets to support youth growth and development in a screen-dominant society? - How might we establish cultural norms around developmentally appropriate social media engagement that support youth mental wellness? Let me know if you’ve read this book! I’m itching to continue the convo!

"WARNING: What you are about to see may shock you. It may make you feel concerned. It may make you feel angry, and it may make you feel confused. It may do any of these things; but it should not make you feel indifferent." dcdx opens their 3rd Gen Z Screen Time Report with a tagline one would expect to see in a thriller movie. And rightly so with DAST* reaching over 20 hours a day for some 💆♂️ Ridiculously useful insights on messaging and content consumption based on the unedited Screen Time shares from 157 Gen Z folks. Packed with data, evidence, and take aways, the report provides a true deep dive into the generation's behaviours and preferences ✅ *DAST stands for Daily Average Screen Time. #genz #content #trends

🚀 Excited to share that I published my project "Social Media Sentiment Analysis" on the Ready Tensor platform! In today’s digital age, understanding how people feel about brands, products, and trending topics is crucial for decision-making. By leveraging the power of Ready Tensor, I've developed a solution that harnesses real-time social media data to analyze public sentiment. #Readytensor.ai #Projectpublish
