No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

@nostupidquestions Did AI voiceovers get much better recently? I seem to be hearing videos with AI voiceovers that have good English and Tagalog pronunciations even when switching between them.
How's AI dubs in other languages?

How's AI dubs in other languages?

In German: Unbearable.

No kidding. Each time when I hear one, I wish they have never been invented, and I rush for the switch to turn it off.

Sorry if I'm being very stupid, but what is tagalog

[–] codexarcanum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 3 days ago

The spoken language of the native people of the Philippines; still one of the country's official languages and spoken by a majority of the population.

[–] cloudless@piefed.social 13 points 3 days ago

Language used in the Philippines, if I recall correctly.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 3 days ago

cloudless does indeed remember correctly.

They've been good for a while. It's been a thing for at least early 2024, look at how convincing ElevenLabs is.

Can you give an example? I’ve heard many now that are bearable to listen to but none that really sound human.

Have you tried notebookLM from Google yet? Provide it s couple documents or web pages and then have it generate an audio analysis. You will get a podcast style report with two voices. They have some pretty advanced production. You can even hear them breathing.
