Hi, thanks for sharing this!
Q:
How did you find the output differed from what you would have expected from a human re-enactor?
For example, do you feel that the integration of AI got you closer to the likeness of De Gaulle than a human actor might have done having studied him closely?

They did use a human actor and made him reproduce De Gaulle’s rhythm from actual recordings but without changing his voice. The AI intervened after that to modify the voice of the actor by analyzing the voices of De Gaulle and of the actor to make them match.

Yes so my question is how it compares in terms of believability vs what you could achieve with an actor?

As a native french speaker I can say that the speech they recreated is much much faithful to De Gaulle's actual way to speak than the actors who played him.
De Gaulle had a very special way to talk, he talked extremely slowly exagerating the pronunciation of every word and making long pauses. I never heard an actor actually doing him perfectly, in Le Monde's video they are basically spot on, I don't think anyone could tell it's not De Gaulle with any certitude.

It's explained on the article op posted, which contains a video explaining everything.
