Are you using Voice AI?

Question

Has anyone here been playing around with or using Voice AI (like elevenlabs.io)? There's all this talk about ChatGPT/GPT-4/LLMs but not as much about Voice AI. It feels like there's so much opportunity here so it got me thinking: how will we be using this tech in the near future?A few applications:Real Estate - cold calling at scale to market properties for sale, find off-market properties, etcEcommerce - calls to cart abandoners, marketing newly launched products, etcAppointment Reminders - doctors, spas, barbers, workout classes, etc. Anything where you have to make an appointment, you'll get a reminder.Politics/Local Government - announcements from local officials/representatives, election announcements, candidate pushes, etcHow else do you think Voice AI will be used? How else have you seen it used? Any applications of it you're excited about?

Do people still answer their (cell)phones nowadays?
If my day was interrupted by a call from a number I recognized and I got an AI generated voice, I would be pissed.
Just because you can, it doesn't mean you should...

I'm playing around with it, because I am looking for things I can do with AI to perhaps earn a second income, switch from being a basic employee to working for myself, the tech is very good, but not quite there yet I don't think, it's extremely close though.While ElevenLabs seems the best, it's a shame it lacks the ability to edit the clips a little more like some of the other tools have, for speeding up certain words, making them louder or adding in some emotion. The other tools do this far better, however they sound robotic, i'm exploring if this could be achieved with some manual editing.

I've used TTS in a proof-of-concept streaming show about Steam games (GPT-3.5 plus ElevenLabs voices): https://www.twitch.tv/totallyhumanshowRight now this just plays a canned video on loop&mdash;the only thing standing in the way of it auto-generating a new show each day/hour is cost of ElevenLabs TTS; I'd go over quota pretty quickly. I imagine the cost will come down.

Not my project but I saw one to let individuals speak to late loved ones, and as a feature for funeral homes or cemeteries.

Even as someone that&rsquo;s generally pretty libertarian, this is an area that I hope gets regulated quickly. A person needs to have the right to know if they&rsquo;re talking to a real person or an AI system.Personally I&rsquo;ve used ElevenLabs to narrate some videos.
