Language divides, technology unites. I'm your host Kris Krug, and in this episode, I'll be sharing my audacious experiment to bring the world together through AI translation.
Using cutting-edge deepfake technology, I created multilingual versions of myself—clones that can speak fluently in over 7 languages. Join me as I unveil these AI personas and reflect on what this means for our shared future.
Can emerging tools help us achieve unprecedented global communication, or do we risk misuse and dehumanization?
From breaking down linguistic barriers to pondering the ethics of AI, this is a podcast journey you won't want to miss!

Episode Transcript
Hey everyone, welcome back to the Motley Krug podcast,
(00:03):
where we delve into the avant-garde crossroads
of art, technology, and life's most intriguing questions.
I'm your host, Chris Krug, your tech artist,
quasi-sage, and for today, your cyberpunk linguistic maestro.
Now, I have something straight out of sci-fi
to share with y'all today.
Buckle up, because we're about to break down
(00:23):
some serious language barriers and invite the world
into our ever-evolving digital tribe.
Trust me, this is some next-level shit.
I've been up to me eyeballs in the enigmatic world
of generative AI lately, and the possibilities
have really got my wheels turning.
I've always wondered what it would sound like
to hear myself speaking flawless Japanese,
Swahili, or even Russian.
(00:45):
Well, thanks to sweet new tech from 11 Labs,
HeyGen, and Anthropic, I won't have to wonder anymore.
I've built a multilingual deepfake experience,
but wait, don't tune out.
This isn't a dystopian tale.
It's a snapshot of the magnificent present.
I've put together a series of videos that break down
not just technical boundaries,
(01:05):
but also cultural and linguistic ones.
The goal is simple, to invite everyone,
whether you're from California like me,
or from as far away as Okayama or Campola,
into our inclusive global digital community.
Now, before we get into the audio snippets
from these videos, let me set the record straight.
Ethics first.
This video, nor the ones to follow,
(01:27):
are intended to be deceptive deepfakes.
Each video has been carefully crafted
with utmost respect for the cultures and traditions.
The goal is not to mislead, but to bridge gaps,
to foster a respectful exchange of ideas,
and to ignite connections across this tiny planet of ours.
So, without further ado, here's a glimpse of my AI clone
(01:50):
greeting you beautiful souls in seven different languages.
I hope you're sitting down and have your headphones in.
You're about to hear me like you've never heard me before.

through language and creative technology.

(03:14):
There you have it. I told you this was going to be a fucking trip. I would absolutely love
to hear what you think. So after you catch your breath, hit me up. You know my digital
doors are always open. So yeah, fuck yeah. Cheers to a future devoid of language barriers
(03:36):
and someday to borders and countries as we know them. And hugs and high fives to each
and every one of you for being an integral part of this awesome journey.
