Was anyone else not particularly impressed by this? I haven't listened to much Steve Jobs stuff but it sounded just stilted enough for me to think something was up. I'm not sure if it was because I came into it with a skeptical mindset because of the article and context around it. It also may be do to the fact that I have been using screen reading software for about 30 years. The only people who I've heard more then synthetic speech may be my close family and I'm not sure about that. Is there anywhere that offers a test where you have to determine what is generated and what is not with random clips lacking background info?
- uberman 4y agoThe audio directly in the post was for sure, but did you listen to the audio in the linked twitter thread? The only thing that gave me pause was the gpt text itself not the voice audio.
- jareds 4y agoI had not listened to the audio in the twitter thread. It's a lot better and the only issue I notice is the pauses at the end of sentences don't seem quite right. I don't know if I'd notice the pauses though if I were not going into this with a suspicious mindset. After listening to the twitter thread I'm not convinced I could detect the difference if it was two random clips one generated and one not.
