I’m always impressed with the speech synthesis that Apple uses to make the voiceovers in these videos. Some of them almost sound like real people!

The guy introduced himself by name, I was really confused for a while if it was just a human trained to sound like an AI, or an AI trained to sound like a human.
Perhaps they ask the AI speech/content generator to give itself a name as part of its training prompt.
They even created a Twitter profile for this AI persona

From the variety of intonations based on context, I doubt it’s speech synthesis.
I think parent comment is being ironic. Not sure tho.
Maybe it’s one AI dissing another?
