Fun with AI: FAKE Quantum Entanglement Breakthrough, Male Narrator

I wanted to see how easy it would be to create a very realistic fake science breakthrough YouTube video using AI tools.

I started with ChatGPT with this request:

"Please give me a paragraph of completely fictional but otherwise very realistic sounding scientific jargon to explain something complicated. I want to use it to play through a text to speech algorithm."

ChatGPT gave me:

"Recent developments in the field of subatomic particle manipulation have led to the creation of a revolutionary new method for harnessing the power of quantum entanglement. By utilizing a complex system of specially calibrated superconducting resonators, we are able to induce a state of coherence within a confined ensemble of subatomic particles, allowing for the manipulation of their quantum states on a scale previously thought impossible. This breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize the fields of quantum computing and energy production, as well as open up new possibilities for the study of fundamental physics."

Next I used the Python TTS text-to-speech engine to run the text through using several different voices. I wanted voices that sounded authoritative and authentic. I chose a favorite male and female voice.

I edited the wave files:
- to add some silence in places, where the vocalization sounded rushed
- to slow down the speech overall by about 10%
- to align the male and female voices in time using rate/pitch control

Next I took the three sentences from ChatGPT and used Stable Diffusion 1.5 to run 100 images for each of the sentences. I chose the best 10 for each sentence to use as graphics for the video. 

I assembled everything with Premiere Pro, including some royalty free science breakthrough music.

The persons appearing in the video are figments of Stable Diffusion.
