Realistic but very lacking in expression and no humor at all. And very slow paced. I'd want significantly more personality to be happy with it - I wonder if the reason its like this is because when they try to spice it up we are back to inappropriate things popping out.

Comedians are not born, they are trained.

I believe that may get fixed eventually, not 100% may be at least 80%.

That's interesting personally I found the male voice to sound more robotic and the female voice to sound much more natural.

Same. The female voice, especially on the first sentence in the cast, is very well inflected to separate phrases and add interest. After that, it's downhill.

ps, I feel like inflection is going to be one of the harder things for an LM to pick up, given all the subtext humans can convey with it.

Laura sounds very realistic... Zod is a bit less so . Both still very impressive. This was really cool. I'm excited to see all the new ideas with this api access.

I thought so too. What do they use for text to voice?

curious about that too. the female sounds a little bit like the tortoise-tts train_grace voice model?

Would also like to know this

It sounds very realistic. Most realistic I know is Eleven Labs.

Possibly prime voice ai

Always remember, this is as bad as it will ever be

I had that thought too. What will these robo-voices sound like 2 iterations from now? We've entered new territory.

She is lora. Not laura

No she's Laura.

I'm getting a bit of John Malkovich vibe from the host, probably from the emphatic pronunciation.

Yes! I very much was thinking Malkovich too!
