As a European who spends most of his time speaking English and have witnessed an entire spectrum of profanity from both British and American folk, I find this stupefyingly ridiculous and bearing on the hypocritical.
It’s true that the British (and their antipodals, the Ozzie’s - hi Mike!) use very colorful language, but I’ve been in calls with US folk who beat them by a (country) mile, if you know what I mean.
Perhaps the biggest cultural difference is informality vs, well, outright insult and abuse, but I’ve found that US folk tend to abuse power dynamics and compound them with swearing whereas the Brits manage to make it seem like an endearment.
Still, this is a profoundly stupid thing for Elevenlabs to do, AI safety or otherwise.
