Most of these languages dont even have enough professional voice actors to cover the bandwidth.
And you think anyone is training AI voice models for those languages? Have you even seen how long it takes even large companies like Google to support the languages with hundreds of millions of speakers?
This was using gdscript to make a basic character controller.
Sure, if you make something that likely has literally dozens of copies of the exact thing in the training data it can probably do well.
I propose "the new dark ages" might be more appropriate.
Lifetime means lifetime
No, actually that is part of the problem, they shouldn't even be allowed to advertise 'Lifetime' without explicitly stating whose lifetime.
True but that is a situation that doesn't really apply very often in the "if you hit the lottery" situation mentioned in the post you replied to.
Half of it wouldn't even work if the news media would do their job and filter out crap like that instead of being lazy and reporting what is going on on social media.
it can code pretty effectively
As long as you are okay with 95% of your code not doing what you intend it to do while using libraries that don't exist sure. Otherwise it really can't. I am a programmer myself and have quite frankly wasted many more hours than I should have giving it the benefit of the doubt on that one and it just produces utter horseshit as code.
Mainly the purpose of those is to diffuse responsibility.
So they created a test so broken and warped that no actual professional can understand it but their AI performs well on it?
AI is here to serve humanity, that’s where the value is, not to serve only a select few.
Mostly right now it is here to torture humanity with low quality slop. It literally can't do the things people claim it is capable of doing, no matter for whose benefit. It is just that some people benefit even if the output quality is significantly lower as long as they have enough people convinced that it is a viable replacement.
And we naively thought Excel files with VBA scripts used as a database was the worst that could fall into that category a decade or two ago.
Probably depends on the language in the target market, a lot of European languages are not that common in countries with cheap labor.
