Ah I was not the only one finding it suspicious, Thank you for your links, pretty interesting research quite far away from a real product though.
This Weekend was the bay area makerfaire, where the Google stand was in front of the one of Nintendo, they were showing the exact same tech, but the Google one was really underwhelming, it was actually interesting to compare it.
I don't trust Google, ok let's wait for a product I guess.
- jacksmith21006 8y agoThe voice part is already in beta and on the Google Home. https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/docs/wavenet https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/docs/wavenet That is the part that freaked out people as you can not tell the difference between humans and computers any longer. Google is using a DNN at 16k cycles a second in real-time. Suspect that was only possible to do at scale and at a reasonable cost with the TPUs. They are competing with a much less compute intensive approach. But Wavenet gets a much better result. The other aspects of Duplex will enter testing later this summer. So not long to wait.

This is the type of thing that contributed me buying the Google Home. Google is just so far ahead of everyone else in AI. Really every layer of the stack.
