You have probably heard broadcaster David Attenborough’s iconic voice when he narrates programs about nature and wildlife. However, you can now listen to the likeness of him dishing out relationship advice through the posts found on Reddit’s subreddits: r/Relationship and AskReddit.
According to Motherboard, Reddit user “youmebangbang” devised a machine learning voice model, probably from the voice recordings of Attenborough’s narrations, and then used the collected data to develop the model to sound like the broadcaster.
Later, a software developer and Reddit user Garett MacGowan edited the model and added another algorithm to enter the Reddit posts through the model. The results have been uploaded onto a YouTube channel called ReddiTube.
In one of the clips, the Attenborough-like voice reads, “I (30F) caught my husband (31M) in an affair and I don’t know how to move on.” Listen to the full audio below.
