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 that hill).
I hate this voice, it will just overprint everyone's voice now with Silicon Valley's annoying "Valley-girl-lite" accent.
The ts and ds thing... it's just language. It changes over time, it's not youth being lazy... The slang of the youth today is actually kinda wordy and extra.
Anyway, I too think today's youth's slang and language is annoying, but not really something the older generations get a say in.
Important is pronounced not with two hard t sounds, but with a glottal stop: Impor[glottal stop]ant. That's not laziness, that's my actual dialect of English spoken by actual adult people.
I full appreciate that there are differences across the globe, but I'm with the parent on this one - I've always said it with two hard t's my whole life, as do most other people here in Australia. I would be asking chatGPT to fix her/his pronunciation during a conversation.
I agree with others here too. At the moment the voice sounds like "grinning barbie" from the end of Toy Story 2. Just stop smiling constantly and talk like a real person chatGPT!
It sounds like a cross between the "TikTok text-to-speech valley girl voice" and a "Real Housewives reality-tv voice". The worst of both worlds when it comes to an annoying voice. Why would you pick something like that for what is supposed to represent a helpful assistant?
