Actually Useful AI

Hey all, brand new to this community, excited to be here!

I've stumbled my way through SD and I currently also have text-generation-webui up and running, and now SillyTavern. Having lots of fun with all of this stuff, learning how it works together, and how it all works!

I've made a few models elsewhere, but TTS models for some reason I'm having issues wrapping my head around. I have a voice I want to make a model for, and I have some videos currently. I'm very familiar with editing audio and video, but stripping out their voice second by second sounds exhausting tbh.

I was wondering if anyone had any good guides on their process of making a TTS model? Are there steps that can be automated while still producing decent results? How much time do I need of a person speaking? Should I run any specific tools to clean up audio? I'm completely new so any and all advice would be great.

I want to run it locally and "plug it in" to my cluster already, so also I'll need the model to work with a tool that will work with the above programs (and I'll take advice there too if you have it!)

Thanks!

Hi all,

As per the title, I'd love to give this a crack. Also, I'm doing so on my laptop, which has an Intel card in it, if that makes any difference?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Wanted to share this one because I find myself using it every day—often in place of Google. You can even somewhat replace Siri with it using the app’s Apple Shortcuts:

Note: I haven’t read the privacy policy or terms and do suspect that there is some form of data collection.

If you’re just wanting to run LLMs quickly on your computer in the command line, this is about as simple as it gets. Ollama provides an easy CLI to generate text, and there’s also a Raycast extension for more powerful usage.

Found this online tool to try out a bunch of different text2image models for free. No signup needed. Resolution is fixed to 512x512, but otherwise it’s pretty versatile for being free

I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but the Actually Useful AI community rarely gets any post on AI that's actually useful. Is this just a reflection of the popularity of this community or a reflection of the AI field in general?

Interesting article I've found, thought others might find it interesting as well.

I was aiming to use LLMs with robotics in an upcoming project, and needed to first verse myself in what is the current must-know techniques in the space. To that end I read a ton of papers and wrote this article to try and suss out the best parts of current state of the art.

I hope this helps people; I'd be thrilled to discuss much of this as well!
