I asked if it can generate a voice clip. It said it can’t on the chat.
I asked it where can it make one. It told me to use Audacity to make one myself. I told it that the advertisement said it could.
Now it said yes it can here is a clip and gave me a broken link.
It’s a hilarious joke.

That woman's voice intonation is just scary .Not because it talks really well, but because it is always happy, optimistic, enthusiastic. And this echoes to what several of my employers idealized as a good employee. That's terrifying because those AI become what their master's think an engaging human should be. It's quite close to Bostondynamics di some years ago. what did they show ? You can hit a robot very hard whi…

I think also very US-culture-specific.
I’m really not impressed. My academic background is in a field where there are lots of public misconceptions. It does an absolutely terrible job. Even basic textbook things where there isn’t much public misunderstanding are “rounded” to what sounds smart.
Your field sounds like "There are dozens of us! Dozens!" - who probably all chat at small conferences or correspond through email or academic publication.
Perhaps if it had at its disposal the academic papers, some of the foundational historic documents of record, your emails, textbooks, etc - in a RAG system, or if it had been included in the training corpus it could impress you about this incredibly niche topic.
That said, because it's an ~LLM - its whole thing is generating plausible tokens. I don't know how much work has been put in on an agent level (around or in the primary model) to evaluate confidence on those tokens and hedge the responses accordingly. I doubt it has an explicit notion like some people do of 'hey, this piece of information () [factoid about late ancient egypt] is knowable/falsifiable - and falls under the domain of specialist knowledge: my immense commonsense knowledge might be overconfident given the prevalence of misconceptions in common discourse and I should discount my token probabilities accordingly'
It reflects its training. If there are a lot of public misconceptions, it will have them. Just like most people who are not .

I'm curious how this will feel with voice. Could be great and could be too strange/uncanny for me.
We've had voice input and voice output with computers for a long time, but it's never felt like spoken conversation. At best it's a series of separate voice notes. It feels more like texting than talking. These demos show people talking to artificial intelligence. This is new. Humans are more partial to talking than writing. When people talk to each other (in person or over low-latency audio) there's a rich metadata…
Siri comes off as impatient. If you don’t complete your thought in one go, you have to insert filler words to keep it listening.
I've long felt that embracing the concept of the 'prompt' was a terrible idea for Siri and all the other crappy voice assistants. They built ecosystems on top of this dumb reduction, which only engineers could have made: that _talking to someone_ is basically taking turns to compose a series of verbal audio snippets in a certain order.

The AI woman's voice is far too breathy and emotive. I instantly hate it and don't want to hear it. The AI has also copied one of my personal pet peeves, which is dropping or swallowing d's and t's from certain words, like "didn't" to "di-unt" and "important" to "impor-unt"--which I find to be a new unbearable laziness spreading amongst younger Americans today. There are TWO T's in important goddammit (I'll die on th…
I use a therapy prompt regularly and get a lot out of it: "You are Dr. Tessa, a therapist known for her creative use of CBT and ACT and somatic and ifs therapy.
