I would use it. But only if it worked ;) My idea is that I want a model that will basically detect if my kid is whining or not. As a parent, I hate whining, but I also hate monitoring all the time for whining, and would love a robot to tell my kid "you're whining". If I could set up a smart speaker, or a raspberry pi, or a iphone or android app or something to just be listening all the time and tell my kid to use a normal voice, that would be awesome. So I would pay for it, but I wouldn't pay absurd amounts of money. I would want to test it out and see that it works. If it did, I would need an easy way to export the model into iOS/android and python. If I knew it was going to work, and I wasn't going to run into stupid problems (I get a model but I can't figure out how to run it unless I'm inside your web GUI or something for example), then I would pay a couple hundred dollars. If I didn't know if it was going to work or not, then I would probably only pay 20 or 30 dollars.

Why would you need ml? Sampling the background for the correct pitch would be enough

  Kids are smart enough to beat a pitch detector.

    Solves your problem of whiney pitches. If the kid goes back to normal tone it becomes just a complaint.

This is a hilarious idea. I would love a little robot that could tell whining apart from legitimate pain crying, because god knows toddlers do enough of both, and help discourage the former.

  Beware second-order effects. I can see this going horribly wrong, raising a generation of believably-sounding whiney 'victims' suffering from whatever they imagine could get them something good.

    Oh damn, so you mean they would be whining without me realizing it? And I would entertain them, not knowing I should shut them out like a child? I think that's just the current world, friend.

I'm going to assume you have little kids. If the kid is over, say 12, then a simple comparison of age and a boolean is all that is needed.
