Why is uptalk intonation so prevalent in ChatGPT voices?

They are still working on a realistic vocal fry?

Why is it so prevalent in people generally?

nothing much, what's uptalk with you?

Made in California. next question

I believe OpenAI wants ChaptGPT to have a tone that is more casual and less professional or uptight than it was before....

And so ChatGPT relies on the training data to know what that means so it leads to it talking like this as this is what the training data is filled with.

Just telling it "Avoid upward inflection" or "Use a flat tone" prevents the lilt for me. Perhaps it doesn't "stick"? Perhaps it varies by voice.

It generates more engagement than a monotonous tone.

I'm sure your intonation sounds annoying to some other generation too.

No doubt the next feature will be starting every paragraph, if not every sentence, with "tsk!" (that wet clicking sound many people do with their tongue and teeth as they inhale before speaking). Pure anecdata, but I notice women doing it much more than men, and it has made its way into newscasts.

I personalized mine to "Cove" and instructed it to speak with a Scottish accent, slow and warm. I am hoping to refine it so it will more closely sound like Sean Connery, but this is the best I could do.

Jarvis, less vocal fry please

I'm not sure why, but the voices in voice mode are different than the voices used to dictate responses provided in "normal" mode. The latter are far better / less annoying.

I haven't noticed anything "off" with the ChatGPT voices. But I know I personally do speak with uptalk intonation as well

Because they trained them on Vloggers and TikTokkers and Podcasters without asking any of them permission.

I don't see the problem with uptalk?

Prompt it to talk like an NPR announcer.

> It hurts to listen to.

Does it really? Isn’t this the kind of thing it would be good to practice tuning out rather than complaining about?

Americans. Ever listen to an American podcast?
