Is there a way to make a speaker say a different word?

I have a recording of someone delivering a speech. There's a moment where he says something funny, but he says the wrong word in the punchline. The viewers will know what he meant, so it'll still work if we can't fix this, but I'm curious: does Adobe have a (likely AI-powered?) tool that can make him say a different word? (I'm posting this same question in the Premiere Pro community, in case that is the better place for this.)

 

I checked, he does not say the word anywhere else in the speech, so I can't pull it from elsewhere and edit it in.

Adobe did some work along these lines a few years ago but were (wisely, in my view) told not to persue it or launch it as a product by their legal department. I wonder why?

Firefly won't solve the OP's issue in the slightest.

I don't think any Adobe product is going to help you.  I presume you can't get the speaker back to record that word.

 

A search for voice cloning will give you some options. (I've never used any tool like that, and hope I never will.)

Ah, right, I was only thinking about my small single case here, I wasn't thinking about the implications of having a tool that can make it sound like any person is saying any thing, haha. 

 

Thanks.
