ONE EPISODE, A STARTING POINT

I challenged the new ChatGPT to a chat: the verdict on its new advanced voice

18:39Marco Montemagno · podcast RSS

Montemagno tests ChatGPT’s advanced voice with tongue twisters, descriptions of Brighton, pitch simulations and different narrative styles. The conversation shows flexible intonation alongside repetitive responses, weak humor and difficulty meeting an exact duration. Requests involving volume, disagreement and language eventually lead to a discussion of the relationship between expressiveness, creativity and the constraints placed on the system.

  • The model tends to agree with its interlocutor and does not always describe its vocal capabilities clearly.
