I work in a team with several Indian developers. After around three years of that I still struggle with some of their accents. I'd love to have real-time accent conversion in our daily standups. Or subtitles. The same goes for a thoroughly locally accented colleague who mumbles a lot. I imagine it won't be long before this tech starts showing up in hearing aids.

- jwally 2y agoNever even though of the implications for AI+AR for mundane seeming applications like hearing aides. Really cool. Even when you remove the flood of johnny-come-lately, "just add AI" marketing - the amount of things that can be enhanced to legitimately make peoples lives better truly does seem staggering.
- nehal3m 2y agoThe prospect of inserting a plausible bullshit generator owned by a tech megacorp between myself and the outside world seems more dystopian than making my life better.
- devsda 2y agoThis is fine for online meetings but for in-person meetings, it is a minefield of interpersonal relationship risks if not used discreetly. Can't predict how the other party reacts. I have had a mix of colleagues with diverse backgrounds, none of them were particularly challenging to understand except for one native chinese speaker. In the beginning, we have indirectly asked for clarifications but stopped doing that after someone candidly mentioned that there's risk of offending the other person. Now we just send meeting minutes to avoid misunderstandings.
