#2Article doesn’t address the ridiculously giggly female voice they used for the 4o demos.

#3Berlin famously casted a gender neutral voice for public transport announcements. It would be nice if OpenAI would have done that too. At least for one of the options. Computers better not have genders imo

Fake, americanized, subtly sexualized. I'm pretty sad that they went for the lowest common denominator approach.
I'm not opposed to computers using emotion at all, mind you. But I don't like that arguably the AI company furthest ahead is choosing this gaudy hollywood approach to marketing.

Why?

#6Am 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.

You're not alone. But it should be an easy fix with voice cloning proceeding as fast as it is.

#9Would it be possible to use prompting to change aspects of the voice output? Will the voice respond angrily if you ask to act an angry character in a play?

Simulation complete. Enter when ready.
