Sesame’s new AI voice model features uncanny imperfections, and it’s willing to act like an angry boss.

    If your AI is craving peanut butter and pickle sandwiches, it may be pregnant. ;)

    Interesting.

    Now if they plugged this into an intelligent agent powered by expert systems instead of a conversational parrot we might start to have actual futuristic AI applications.
