Article doesn’t address the ridiculously giggly female voice they used for the 4o demos.

Fake, americanized, subtly sexualized. I'm pretty sad that they went for the lowest common denominator approach.

I'm not opposed to computers using emotion at all, mind you. But I don't like that arguably the AI company furthest ahead is choosing this gaudy hollywood approach to marketing.

The male voice they used didn’t have these qualities…

I personally hated the female voice, it wasn’t pleasant to listen to. I found it quite grating, making the demo hard to watch.
