  It becomes easier and cheaper every day. Today’s open source LLMs are better than last year’s best model.

    You’re fundamentally misunderstanding the comment you replied to, they are not saying that voice AI are bad, they are saying there is not enough training data to improve the AI for these languages. How will it improve without good training data?

      Thats not how AI training works and even then there’s absolutely enough data. Also training data can be created and even synthesized. There are many techniques to extract make training value from datasets that we discover every year - It’s really not a problem you think it is.

      I’m genuinely confused how AI illiterate users here are. It’s just blind leading the blind.

    Is it? I just tried again yesterday for a simple script since coding is the one thing apparently AI will replace people like me and it could not put together a working JavaScript script.

    I have yet to see tangible results not announced by the people with sunken cost exploding their balls.

      Sounds like a skill issue my dude. Whole you struggle to get a js script people are putting out entire programs with AI assistants so sure - you’re right and they’re wrong

  That’s the benefit of using AI and machine learning - once you have enough source material, you can throw it all in and it’ll eventually spit out a model.
  Which is exactly what Meta did with their Massively Multilingual Speech project which supports text -to-speech and speech-to-text for 1107 different languages.

  Is it actually any good in 99% of them, I don’t have a clue, but it exists.

    Seems more like a proof of concept project for that paper than something they are pursuing seriously judging by the GitHub location in some example folder that hasn’t seen any significant updates in over a year. If it is so great I would assume they would pursue it more actively and replace existing models with it two years later.
