There have been AI crank calls in the last few months. The AI struggles with Ghost's way of speaking though and creates a distinct AI voice that sounds similar but is easy to tell apart from his actual voice so splicing is still the preferred method from what I have seen.
Yeah, the tech can't quite replicate his vocal fry or whatever you'd call it. AI Ghost sounds less like hambone than bootleg-Art Bell right now. It's amusing, but hasn't made splicing obsolete yet.
Good question. I'm not dumb enough to pay Ghost in any form, so I dont' have an answer either. But for those who don't know, it's getting talked around on TTS and in chat on the current (live) TCR 615:
Summary as I understand it - Ghost lets Al Chappers do what he wants in Thunderdome and goes so far as to give one of his friends a free admittance to the chat, DJ Launchpad. DJ is some retard pedophile grooming teenage girls in their weird discord, and Ghost finally puts his foot down when he tries to bring a 15 year old girl into the Ghost community. The "boing boing" spam going on referred to DJ Launchpad's apparent fetish for people bouncing on oversized bounce-balls. It's about as autistic as I could have expected. This shit is allegedly why we haven't had a new TGS in going on a month now.
