In today's sign of the ongoing apocalypse, artificial Intelligence pioneer ElevenLabs have hooked up with the estate of Jerry Garcia to recreate the late Grateful Dead frontman's voice.
This breakthrough means that Deadheads can use the company's platform to listen to Garcia’s voice reading out audiobooks, articles, poetry, bedtime stories, recipes and more in 32 different languages. We tested the software by asking "Jerry" to read a favourable review of an album by The Doors – a band he reportedly detested – and are happy to report that he did a reasonable job, albeit with some unusually positioned pauses.
