Now my computer can sound just like the people that make me turn off my radio!

The voices sound robotic and weird as always. The interesting part was how each example distilled down "business" into a comical post-modern sound bite. "Don't worry, we've taken the extra charge off your account." Must be a common issue.

Grok voice is the best voice AI voice assistant and it's not even close. The speed + intelligence tradeoff is just right. While GPT voice is smug and unhumanlike despite trying hard to be human. Thanks to that one HN stray comment that recommended it.

Sounds good to me, similar quality to other ones I've heard and there's real intelligence behind it, unlike Siri. I look forward to when I can try them out in my car. Grok is already helping to answer the never-ending, progressively harder questions my older kid has started to ask during long car rides.
