I'm unconvinced. Just a brief experiment, but I find the voices grating. They are really well synthesized, but they sound like the classic well-trained call center agent: fake friendly.

I think the dialect is part of it as well: identifiably US West coast, presumably SF-Bay. Something more neutral, say, mid-Atlantic would be preferable for non-USaians. I asked ChatGPT if it could change its dialect - it said yes, but sounded exactly the same anyway.

Maybe you get used to it? Dunno, I'll try again, if I have a use case...

Dialect, or accent?


In English, I asked it to change to a Scottish "accent". It said sure, but nothing changed. In German, I asked it to change to the "dialect" spoken in the Wallis - I got a bunch if info in the dialect, but all still in high German.

tl;dr: I tried both...
