Does anyone else find that there's hard to pin down reason of life-lessness in the speech of these voice models?

Especially in the fruit pricing portion of the video for this model. Sounds completely normal but I can immediately tell it is ai. Maybe it's intonation or the overly stable rate of speech?

IMHO it's not lifeless. It's just not overly emotional. I definitely prefer it that way. I do not want the AI to be excited. It feels so contrived.

On the video itself: Interesting, but "ideal" was pronounced wrong in German. For a promotional video, they should have checked that with native speakers. On the other hand its at least honest.

I hate with a passion the over-americanized "accent" of chatgpt voices. Give me a bland one any day of the week

Yeah that overly fake-excited voice type. Doesn't work for Europe at all. But indeed common in American customer service scenarios.
