Many are excited but many others are concerned about the impact this could have on millions of low-wage service workers. by Callitaloss

The city got its name because it was the lone settlement of white colonists amid several Native American villages in the Fort Worth area in the Texas Republic territory in the 1840s.

On October 14, 2005, city leaders, citing hurdles in attracting businesses, announced a plan to have local voters decide on a possible name change for the town from White Settlement to West Settlement. the name change was overwhelmingly rejected by a vote of 2,388 to 219

I asked it why did the AI cross the road?

"Because it was programmed to do so, even if it didn't understand why"

Singing is just speech that's modulated by the vocal cords to harmonize.

When we speak normally all that happens is also just notes sounding out in sequences that we are familiar with and have memorized those sequences as words. With singing the notes are just chosen in such an order that they sound good with each other.

Sampling singing voice is not different than sampling speaking voice. Although with current ai models the same person's singing voice and speaking voice would need to be trained on separately. As the common database of both spoken and sung voice would confuse the ai in terms of how to "pronounce" things. As it cannot naturally tell a difference between sung and spoken word.
