"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Thank you! Oh wow, espeak-ng is way better then Festival, tho it's not that bad itself. Is there a reason to use the latter over the former? I'm only just using these tools for the first time.
Just use what you like, i think they're all fine. Espeak-NG is licensed GPL and according to Wikipedia, the algorithm is (ultimately) from 1995, so I don't think there's funky things going on in there.
