Maybe if you run ML on it, it will find Ryan Gosling?

Feel like I'm missing a meme ref. However, may have found an interesting rabbit hole anyways. Apparently a popular DeepFake choice. Aug, 2023 paper notably.

YT, voice copying demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNwuAjeDOVE

arXiv, voice cloning detection: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.12734.pdf

Has voice cloning using Retrieval-based Voice Conversion and then detection for: Ryan Gosling, Joe Biden, Elon Musk, Barack Obama, Margot Robbie, Linus Sebastian, Taylor Swift, and Donald Trump.

Apparently overly-optimistic detection results reported based on discussion, although they're still not bad at 86% after removing possible training data issues.

No, there was some image processing that was trying to recognize shapes and kept finding Ryan Gosling in images.

So, maybe it wasn't "kept" but did it at least once, so now it's ingrained as a thing to poke fun.
