The Anthony Hopkins is even better. The Liam Neeson version though is forgettable.

Couldn’t someone easily feed the script of the speech into a tool like https://beta.elevenlabs.io along with some other recordings of DeGaulle’s voice to arrive at a similar result?

To produce for us, a living history of that day, that speech and for a moment bask in whatever emotion might have been. Remembrance is a contact sport, not merely the memorisation of dates, names and places.
With a solid moral compass, projects like this can bring to life moments that most grade schoolers are happy to forget.

The movies are good, but I prefer the Marlon Brando one to the Mel Gibson one. I can't vouch for the historical accuracy of either one though.

I like breadfruit. It's kind of like a mix between winter squash and potato.

I did and it's pretty thorough, but the point of the AMA is to ask questions to get personal responses from the experts.

Isnt France the origin of the "Great Replacement Theory"? Im geniunely wondering how they went from "Reject Nazi's" to "Brown people are taking over".

The AI simply helps an actor better impersonate a historical figures' known voice reading a known transcript. Should we not have actors recreate historical events? Is it bad to have an actor/impersonator read Abraham Lincoln's speech transcripts?

Reply to Why didn't Japan excise Chinese characters from the Japanese language, when Japan hated China so much? by 3cana
Your question is no different than “why didn’t the Americans excise all the Germanic words in English when they hated Nazis so much?”

Do you have plans to take this same approach to other historical figures or historical speeches?
If you could bring any speech in history back to life like this (even if it isn't technologically possible), what would you choose?

They didn’t reject the Nazi’s with any legitimate force, France folded quickly.
