A developer experimented with voice cloning by combining a small language model (SmolLM2) with a token-level n-gram trained on their own published writings. The goal was to create a chatbot that sounded like the developer, but the results were mixed. While the n-gram added a personal linguistic style, the language model struggled to grasp the underlying concepts, leading to output that was grammatically correct but conceptually empty or paranoid.
