Some of the HN comments here are suspicious as well.



I described it in multiple calls at Stripe today as "The most impressive demo I have seen in years", and I think you can reasonably understand that I didn't join HN 10 years ago as part of a stealth mission to a) get hired by Stripe and then b) talk up audio editing software to them so that my shadowy masters got that sweet sweet podcast budget.

Here's some work from yesterday where I trained an ML model to simulate me and then used it for a point edit and then full-text-to-speech. https://twitter.com/patio11/status/1346238460969959424?s=20


I just downloaded it and tested it out. It really is a very cool, polished product.

The video cuts when you remove "uh" and "um" are too jarring for anything professional, but OTOH for some internal work stuff I could see a use for this. And as someone who has used 0 video editing software, I was able to start making changes within like a minute, which I think is quite impressive.

That said, not sure I have enough use case to pay for it, personally.

NB: it's kind of impossible to prove you're not a sock puppet, because of _course_ a sock puppet account would say they're not a sock puppet account.


If I could revise my previous comment, I didn't want mean to imply the feedback wasn't from a legitimate user. Rather, the comment was very technical in what it had to say about the software.

Presumably, there are technical people that use video editing software. It's fine. But, that type of highly technical person may not be the target persona of this software.

HN discourages calling things shills, so I wanted to provide a clearer explanation of what is my best interpretation.


I disagree. The product is just that cool, that's why there are so many positive comments.

The website and product look sexy, the promo video isn't cringe and their "overdub" functionality looks like black magic.


This. I've never seen hners describe a product as "sexy" as many times as in the comments here.


> I've never seen hners describe a product as "sexy" as many times as in the comments here.

There are just 2 comments with the word 'sexy'. 4, if including your comment and mine.


I counted as well, pedant that I am, and I still believe that 2 is an unusually high number of times for hners.
