This is absolutely incredible. This man was speaking Spanish the whole time. I did not realize AI dubbing was this good already.

"Incredible" is a good word to describe this in more ways than one. I have no easy way to verify that his message was not subtly changed in the translation. The era of video being proof of anything is ending.

The original Spanish for reference: https://youtu.be/kFitJ5juqwc?si=fefKmCKT9a63oVUY

Hi from Argentina! The translation is very good, but it still sound ro-bo-tic. There are small pause betwen sylabes that are not natural. I listen to the first minute, and the translation is accurate. (I don't have the patience to listen to the full talk twice, to compare the content, and subtle changes.)

Somewhat related: It's posible to distinghish the accent of different countries. For example when I listen to some from Spain talking in English, it's very clear that the person is from Spanin and not from Mexico. It would be interesting to compare the automated translations of persons of different countries and see if it keeps enough accent to give some autenticity, but not too much to avoid been anoying.
