I can't think of anything worse to listen to while trying to sleep than robotic computer voices. Azure cognitive services has human voicegeneration https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-service...

That sounds more robotic to me than the WaveNet voices, though.

EDIT: Actually some of the other voices are really good... I'll try that, thanks!

I don't think I could sleep to that voice though super interesting as as a concept. Maybe using some sort of deepfake for voice would make this a 100x better.

It is kind of hard to sleep to, I agree. This is a deepfake voice, ie it's generated by Google's WaveNet, which afaik is a deep learning thing. Unfortunately they didn't have a more whispered/softer voice, but I like the insanity of the generated stories anyway.

GPT3 does tend to get a bit repetitive, though, with the default temperature (0.7).

Brilliant :) My main concern is that my brain would just wander off if the story is complete nonsense. I will give it a try. I've been listening to the same podcast episode for months now to help me fall a sleep.

I find the stories toe the line of "just enough sense" to keep it interesting. Episode 2 is the one I liked the most so far, I was reading the text with lots of interest!

AWS’s Polly can whisper.
