I need you to listen to the deeply broken text-to-speech narration from this Google blog post. They removed it after people pointed out how bad it was, but I promise you this was actual audio on a real official Google blog post.

What kills me is it seems staged. Halfway through the AI seems to have a human response. It seems to loose its breath and then it seems to being saying "Fuck it," as it starts missing text.

One of the comments on original link thought maybe it's ingesting and processing an entire sentence at a time, which makes sense to me. You hear both models say "dopply complex st-strategic uwame" and "chiss" right before the money shot lmao.

Somehow the cadence of that first one reminded me of Kronii once it starts stuttering about halfway through even though the voice doesn't sound like her when reading normally
