"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo." — James Klass
In particular, voice AI systems are by their nature not very discoverable, which makes it hard to assess them quickly. What the video shows is a system that can recognize some input sentences and speak some output sentences. It does not show the size and flexibility of the command set, and it only gives a vague impression of the speech output quality and recognition accuracy.
Technically, you could reproduce this demo with the system software that shipped on a Mac Quadra 840AV in 1993.
- kenarsa 8y agoThis is a really good point. That is why we partially open-sourced our technology to enable unbiased third party evaluation. You can run the exact same demo on a Linux box or Raspberry Pi (any variant) using what's available on the project GitHub repository here: https://github.com/Picovoice/rhino https://github.com/Picovoice/rhino We are in process of open-sourcing a statistically-significant benchmark for this tech. But this will happen in 2019.
- xena 8y agoI would love to try and play with this to recognize non-English (lojban). How can I add/train voice samples to this?
