Amazon's Alexa could soon mimic the voice of your dead loved onesAmazon's Alexa system is getting an update, and the company says that soon your virtual assistant will be able to mimic real voices. Your Amazon Alexa may soon be able to replicate real, human voices — even those of your deceased loved ones. The update to Alexa’s system would allow the virtual assistant to mimic the voice of any person based on less than a minute of recording. The voice assistant continued to read the book in that same voice. On the current Alexa system, users can switch to celebrity voices like Samuel L. Jackson and Melissa McCarthy as their voice assistant — created through a mixture of studio recordings and AI.
