"Speaking" is a hyperbole. It allows you to say exactly 5 phrases with 95% accuracy, after repeating each sentence 100 times. In other words, it's totally useless. The sentences are so different that they can be distinguished almost entirely by length. I'm very surprised anyone thinks this is useful.
Excerpt: "A brief demonstration was made with five sentences that we had selected for training the algorithm (S1: “Hi Rachel, how you are doing today?”, S2: “Hope your experiments are going well!”, S3: “Merry Christmas!”, S4: “I love you!”, S5: “I don’t trust you.”). Each participant repeated each sentence 100 times for data collection."
I never read a press release from a university, it's always exaggerated.

- light_hue_1 3y agoExactly. They took a neat device and wrapped it in a BS story that's wildly unscientific. Nature and Science don't mind if people outright lie about what their research means as long as it gets hits. The paper is pretty much just as bad. This is how mistrust for science slowly builds up when people publish obvious falsehoods.
