AI technology has taken the world by storm. From creating art to writing stories to making music, AI is progressing at a blistering pace. While the existential dread about the new tech has gripped the internet, some people like YouTuber Brian Monarch are using it in a fun way. In one of his videos, Monarch puts Arnold Schwarzenegger into films, TV shows, and music videos that he never starred in, producing hilarious results.

In his latest video about the bodybuilding icon, the YouTuber created an AI-generated short that puts Arnie in an Austin Powers movie. However, Monarch didn’t just face-swap the seven-time Mr. Olympia in the clip; he also used an AI-generated voice model of Arnie. The outlandish video had fans roaring with laughter in the comments.

In the video titled Arnold Schwarzenegger and His Clone are Very Evil, the YouTuber face-swapped Austin Powers actor Mike Myers with the Austrian Oak. In the Austin Powers movies, Myers plays both the bad guy and the protagonist. However, Brian Monarch faced-swapped Arnie as Mayer’s Doctor Evil and his clone Mini-me, originally played by Verne Troyer.

In the video, Arnie features as the bad guys in a scene where they plan to cause a riot. However, when an inmate refuses, the AI Schwarzenegger and his clone burst into song and dance. What makes the scene even more hilarious is the voice model of Schwarzenegger singing and rapping, but devoid of any emotion.

Interestingly, the 75-year-old actor also uses an AI-generated voice model to assist with his daily podcast. Due to his busy schedule, Schwarzenegger couldn’t record every session of the Arnold’s Pump Club podcast. Hence the bodybuilding icon announced he would use AI. However, his use of AI didn’t make fans reeling with laughter in the comments.
