Even if it didn't sound fake, you'd think common sense would preveil. Why would the president robo call you telling them not to vote for them.

My favourite quote attributed to Winston Churchill that he never said is:

The best argument against Democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

The average voter went to public school, which is directly manipulated by the entire ruling elite to keep them in power and feed the war machine. Education has very little to do with any of that.

Are private schools less manipulated?

I'm sorry, are you whatabouting this? Seriously?

.... You do realize that a significant part of the nation can't even read out a sixth grader level right?

And that doesn't refer to only how well they read words that refers to their critical thinking and their comprehension of what they have read.

These are the target audience.

It sounds like they’re talking exclusively from the front of the mouth. I used to talk like that when I was trying to conceal a tongue ring. I wonder why that is?

Linguistics nerd stuff below: American English is spoken from the front of the mouth compared to lots of other languages (not this far forward, but still). I wonder if AI voices speaking Arabic would move Arabic forward by the same amount, all the way to the front, or further back (no human anatomy restrictions on AI voices).

Basically, I wonder if this is a consistent artifact of AI voices or whether AI is just exaggerating unique features of a language.

Edit: I found this, which sounds natural enough that I wouldn’t have thought anything of it (aside from the cuts and the actual things said), had I not been watching out for front of the mouth talk
