This tool only requires 3-12 seconds of audio to do voice cloning. And it’s not even a very large model. The Reddit “wisdom” is that voice cloning takes hours of audio and/or is “impossible.”

And, sure, voice cloning did require that much audio — in 2018. Things are changing faster than people can keep up.
