NB’s description doesn’t state that this test “made completely with AI”. The opposite, if I understand correctly.

The title on YouTube says "fully AI", using actors likenesses and voices, but it's unclear whether those actors voice acted their lines, or provided samples for AI voicing. There's also a human editor credited, and it feels like surely there are uncredited people for music and other audio?

I mean, on top of the fundamental lack of credit in the model itself, of course.

my understanding is that they fed the model with performances but did not directly act their lines.
