Yes and No. A sound board just has a bunch of pre-recorded sound clips, but some have a voice changer as well. The scambait community uses voice changers all the time (Kitboga, Perogi, etc.), but those change a voice to things like a robot, girl/boy, old person, cartoon, etc. The sound pitches get changed, but if I read that Article correctly, this AI version will actually change the dialect to a Western one by changing words too.
This is from the Article above:
Quote:
"Hi, good morning. I’m calling in from Bangalore, India." I’m talking on speakerphone to a man with an obvious Indian accent. He pauses. “Now I have enabled the accent translation,” he says. It’s the same person, but he sounds completely different: loud and slightly nasal, impossible to distinguish from the accents of my friends in Brooklyn.
Only after he had spoken a few more sentences did I notice a hint of the software changing his voice: it rendered the word “technology” with an unnatural cadence and stress on the wrong syllable. Still, it was hard not to be impressed – and disturbed.
Won't know until they start using them to find out if "
dis iz dah ani-wirus sapoat" now sounds like
"this is the anti-virus support" with a Brooklyn accent or not.
