I have no involvement in either of these companies, but I'll mention that this seems like a beta version of uberduck. Personally, I think uberdurk is awesome, and probably worth a look

I appreciate the intent, and I understand that many people will do the wrong thing so this was probably an attempt to get such folks to actually read and adhere to the TOS, but the obnoxious consent dialog with a mandatory countdown turned me off. It’s probably not effective, either. On desktop, maybe I’d open dev tools and remove it. On mobile, I won’t be bothered. I hate that this is what the web has become and I c…

To use 15.ai without accepting the TOS just paste this in the console

    document.querySelector('.vm--modal').remove();document.querySelector('.vm--container').remove();
Or add it to some default script that is applied to all pages, that way when you visit 15.ai you never even see the TOS box in the first place.

The Chell voice from Portal is extremely accurate

100% accurate to be precise. ;)

I think that depends on whether you subscribe to Chell not having a voice, or having a voice and simply not using it. The game is silent on whether Chell can't talk, or simply has nothing to say to the AI around her.

The use of emojis to determine sentiment is incredibly clever. > The DeepThroat model is able to generate voices of varying degrees of emotion despite never having been exposed to emotive data of the character during training. Furthermore, multiple characters can be trained simultaneously, significantly reducing the amount of time required compared to if one were to train the character models individually. Can't wait…

The emoji thing was a 4chan discovery. As was the idea to use both Arpabet and English, rather than just one of the two.

couldn’t agree more, the web has become user hostile and I will boycott sites and their services and products if they disrespect me by wasting my time try to trick me into agreeing to a list of smallprint demands

Oh yep. I'll be reading an article and a damn popup appears midway through a sentence. I usually just quit the website at that point. I hope their bounce detectors pick up on it.

Weird, I read through the text because I care about how I’m allowed to use the things people are giving me – and by the time I got to the Accept button, it was enabled.

I prefer to know what it is I'm being given before I decide whether its worth it to figure out how I'm allowed to use it. To each their own.

Unrelated, but years ago iOS used a new ML voice for Siri. It was quickly abused by people who found out how easy it was to make her say weird things [1]. Just by repeating the same character over and over again, she made weird sighs and other noises. Seems this AI has the same 'problem'. lol

Same here. And I figured if a hobby project had such a disclaimer it would be important and so I was interested to read what the rules were. But how spoiled and precious are we all today when we can’t even read a few paragraphs and accept some terms to be able to try something cool for free!

it kind of sucks, not accurate or convincing. if they spent less time making the disclaimer and more on the product… Reminds me of the 90s when everyone had a secret weapon IP in the making, until open source showed by example how futile and silly that approach was. You want people to use your work, because then they need you.
