Found a WAV file on my external hard drive I made in April 2022. This was an attempt at getting Alex Trebek’s voice on uberduck.ai to sing Never Gonna Give You Up. For some reason, he just kinda growls and glitches a lot, I don’t think Uberduck’s singing along feature handled reverb well. I’m just glad we’ve progressed beyond this point in the past few years.

Bummer.
lol
Update: just checked and didn’t find anything in my downloads folder from the laptop I used back then, sadly. Must have purged all the uberduck downloads, so sadly we’ll never hear the Geico commercial guy having a stroke ever again.
Oh yes, I remember.
landon I remembered I used this a lot when I was at school with the announcements.
I agree.
Yes until the summer of 2023 before it was taken down. Sad is gone.
Nice. That was when it was still around I beleave.
Yeah I messed with it a ton around that time, but the frequent glitchouts were something else. I’ll have to look through my old downloads folder and see if anything’s stilll there.
same here
I like using Uber Duck a lot back in 2022.
Nice.
yup, I was there, and the glitches back then were halerius
That’s funny, I can’t stop laughing.
