Named Speech2Face, the neural network  a computer that "thinks" in a manner similar to the human brain  was trained by scientists on millions of educational videos from the internet that showed over 100,000 different people talking. 
From this dataset, Speech2Face learned associations between vocal cues and certain physical features in a human face, researchers wrote in a new study. The AI then used an audio clip to model a photorealistic face matching the voice 
Thankfully, AI doesn't (yet) know exactly what a specific individual looks like based on their voice alone. The neural network recognized certain markers in speech that pointed to gender, age and ethnicity, features that are shared by many people, the study authors reported. 
"As such, the model will only produce average-looking faces," the scientists wrote. "It will not produce images of specific individuals."

    Maybe it was pulled then. I remember the headline here a while back.

    It could have been under another headline. I searched titles and keywords for voice, voices, face, and faces.
Or maybe I didn’t look far enough back.
Heck...I might have posted it and just don’t remember.

    Went back and re-read the article. No mention of Ebonics in there.

 We generally dont consider it duplicate if more than 4 hours have gone by. Especially if there is activity on the thread.

    They picked the best six fits out of 100,000 tries. 
That's all this is, machine-assisted mass cherry picking.
 It means essentially nothing.
