Right to who? To me, the voice sounds like an over enthusiastic podcast interviewer. Whats wrong with wanting computers to sound like what people think computers should sound like?
- Jensson 2y agoIt understands tonal language, you can tell it how you want it to talk, I have never seen a model like that before. If you want it to talk like a computer you can tell it to, they did it during the presentation, that is so much better than the old attempts at solving this.
- sitkack 2y agoYou are a Zoomer sosh meeds influencer, please increase uptalk by 20% and vocal fry by 30%. Please inject slaps, "is dope" and nah and bra into your responses. Throw shade every 11 sentences.
- airstrike 2y agoI'm not sure whether to laugh or cry...
- the_doctah 2y agolowkey genius
- jasondigitized 2y agoAnd you’ve just nailed where this is all headed. Each of us will have a personal assistant that we like. I am personally going to have mine talk like Yoda and I will gladly pay Disney for the privilege.
- darby_eight 2y agoPeople have been promising this for well over a decade now but the bottleneck is the same as it was before: the voice assistants can't access most functionality users want to use. We don't even have basic text editing yet. The tone of voice just doesn't matter when there's no reason to use it.
- nurple 2y agoI've seen a programmer-turned-streamer literally do this live. Woohoojin on twitch/yt focuses on content for Riot's Valorant esports title, during a couple watch parties he would make "super fans" using GPT with TTS output and the stream of chat messages as input. His system prompts were formed exactly like yours, including instructions to plug his gaming chair sponsor. It worked surprisingly well. The video where he created the first iteration on stream(don't remember the watch party streams he ran the fans on): https://yewtu.be/watch?v=MBKouvwaru8 https://yewtu.be/watch?v=MBKouvwaru8
- navigate8310 2y ago> voice sounds like an over enthusiastic podcast interviewer I believe it can be toned down using system prompts, which they'll expose in future iterations
- TacticalCoder 2y agoAs in the Interstellar movie: chuckling to 0% no acting surprised not making bullshit when you don't know
- tr3ntg 2y agoRight... enthusiastic and generally confused. It's uncanny valley level expressions. Still better than drab, monotonous speech though.
- eloisant 2y agoSo far I prefer the neutral tone of Alexa/Google Assistant. I like computers to feel like computers. It seems like we're in the skeuomorphism phase of AI where tools try to mimic humans like software tried mimic physical objects in the early 2000's. I can't wait for us to be passed that phase.
- px43 2y agoThen you can tell it to do that. It will use whatever intonations you prefer.
- QuarterReptile 2y agoI want to get to the part where phone recordings stop having slow, full sentences. The correct paradigm for that interface is bullet list, not proper speech.
- refurb 2y agoI can't be the first person that has heard this type of voice before? On a phone tree with a bank when he enter the wrong code? "It looks like you entered the wrong number! Did you want to try again? Or did you want to talk to an agent?" That sort of chirpy, overly enthusiastic voice?
- kybernetikos 2y agoGenuine People Personalities™, just like in Hitchikers. Perhaps one of the milder forms of 'We Created The Torment Nexus'.
- astrange 2y agoThe Total Perspective Vortex in Hitchhiker's notably didn't do anything bad when it was turned on, and so is good evidence that inventing the torment nexus is fine.
- dTal 2y agoWhat even is this comment Also, <spoilers> It didn't do anything bad to Zaphod Beeblebrox, in a pocket universe created especially for him (therefore ensuring that he was the most important thing in it, and thereby securing his immunity from the mind-scrambling effects of fully comprehending the infinite smallness of one's place in the real universe).
- angryasian 2y agoagree I don't get it. I just want the right information and explained well. I don't want to be social with a robot.
- Keyframe 2y agoIt's a computer from the valley.
- twelvechairs 2y agoIt sounds VERY California. "Its going great!" "Nice choice" "Whats up with the..." all within 10 seconds. (not that this is the most important thing about the announcement at all. Just an aside)
- exodust 2y ago> "over enthusiastic podcast interviewer" Yeh it's cringe. I had to stop listening. Why did they make the woman sound like she's permanently on the brink of giggling? It's nauseating how overstated her pretentious banter is. Somewhere between condescending nanny and preschool teacher. Like how you might talk to a child who's at risk of crying so you dial up the positive reinforcement.

- danbala 2y agoexactly. Hope we can customize the voice soon. I want to talk to ultron... or the one from mass effect
