Am I the only one that really dislikes these overly perky voices? And the one they used for the demo was GOD AWFUL. If this is what the future sounds like… idk. I was hoping for a calm, neutral and not eager assistant with a little class. A little Jarvis maybe? Something calm and easy on the ears.
These all sounded to me like people auditioning for a role in film and television or something.

- datahack 2y agoI’m hoping. That’s a good point. It really sounded like people from central casting. The fact that is was exactly that is hilarious to me. Your point is well advised!
- echelon 2y agoOpenAI won't be setting the mood once open source catches up. They have no moat. This is just another flashy demo attempting to throw shade at Google. There were already AI products with exactly this behavior (perhaps sans multi-modality) prior to OpenAI's demo. Some of them were even open source. And these products will cater to the things we care about: local, niche, privacy-respecting, with bespoke domain expertise.
- DeathArrow 2y agoI would like something more David Attenborough-ish.
- jgrahamc 2y agoI would like the voice of HAL: soft and calm.

- exitb 2y agoThis is contextual, the model seems to match the user vibe and the general situation. Take a look at the "Customer service proof of concept" video added to the announcement post[1] - there are two AIs talking using very different voices.

- vlasky 2y agoI'm surprised that you can't configure the pace or pitch of the voices. The Web Speech API, around for a long time, has that capability. I'd also love to have the option of Australian and British accents.
- iLoveOncall 2y agoI use "Cove" which is much more tame that the other by default and (I assume that's the case for all) matches your tone. So if I'm asking it a question on a neutral tone it will answer in the same way.
- OutOfHere 2y agoCove is the only acceptable voice they have.
