Azure

This is due to 2 issues both of these have and Azure mitigates to an extent:

  • they both lack humanity, i.e. they can at most be convincing as human prompt readers, but not anything else
  • those without a better ear and headphones probably do not notice a certain ring those two have, which a human voice cannot replicate - it might be that this effect is added to make the voices sharper, but ultimately it will make people like me, as well as robovoice detectors be able to more easily distinguish them as TTS
