I'm not 100% sure, but I think this tool just types the commands. So it avoids typos and you can just focus on what you're saying as you type nonsense. Sounds like it actually does run your pre-written commands. From the readme:
> What's more, It's a Live is actually running the commands you're typing, so you have full interoperability with other
programs.
- godelski 1y ago> I'm not 100% sure What is the ambiguity here? If it is live, it is being done in real time. If it is pre-recorded it was done previously. If you call a pre-recorded demo "live" then it is fraud. What more is there to get?
- jstanley 1y agoThe inputs are pre-recorded but the outputs aren't. What more is there to get?
- godelski 1y ago> but the outputs aren't. I'm still under the impression that they are?
- stavros 1y agoThey aren't.
- godelski 1y agoRTFM > Every time you press a key, It's a Live will write one character from the file into the terminal, making it look like you're typing every single command with the practiced ease of a consummate professional. It's like pressing next on a slide. That's not live. That's lip syncing. Good god, this isn't that hard man. You're fine to lip sync if you call it lip syncing. Just don't claim you're actually singing when you're not and you're all good. Why is this so difficult to grasp?
- evnp 1y agoIt seems like you're misunderstanding what parent meant by "prerecorded" - not a screen recording, just pre-writing of commands to be executed during the demo. Would you consider it "deception" to hit up arrow a few times in a terminal during your demo to execute a command from shell history? This is effectively the same. Take a look at the linked repo, it's very clever.
- godelski 1y agoThe original link for itsalive says it works by making it not live and the op says just as much. This is very different from practicing a script and you actually doing all the actions in real time. You're allowed to rehearse for your live performance but unless you're doing it live then it's not live. People also hate lip syncing because it's a deception of being live.
- stavros 1y agoAnd yet, ~all singers lipsync, because the point isn't to show off what the artist can do vocally every single night, but to entertain the audience, which lip syncing achieves.
- godelski 1y ago> And yet, ~all singers lipsync I think your view of the world is much more pessimistic than reality. Live music is quite common and far more prolific than lip syncing.
