ChatGPT’s “Arbor” voice. Sounds Australian? IDK

Why do most of the #ChatGPT voices have Silicon Valley accents? If you don’t think they do, then you haven’t been around the SV cadence enough. Only #Arbor ( #Australian ?) and #Vale ( #British ? Liverpool?) sound different. Ok #OpenAI - let’s get a French and/or Southern drawl accent in there.

GENIES: Please follow @craigenorg.bsky.social and share the posts to further #AIeducation “Agentic AI” combines goal-directed decision-making, autonomy, and adaptability, enabling the system to act intentionally within constraints rather than merely responding to individual prompts or inputs.

Dear #OpenAI, Please add a “No Fabrication” radio button to #ChatGPT. The fabricating is making me crazy! #Truth #NoLies #Fabrication #Fabricating

This is a selfie of me in my bright green jacket, standing on the heli deck of RSV Nuyina. There is distant land (southern Tasmania) in the background, across the water. The deck has “NUYINA” written in large white letters behind me.

So long Hobart, see you in February! I’m on board Australia’s icebreaker RSV Nuyina, heading south for the summer to collect environmental DNA samples to study biodiversity. We left yesterday afternoon, heading to Casey Station in #Antarctica and then Heard Island ❄️ 🐧 🧬 #eDNA

YouTube video by Netflix Secrets of the Neanderthals | Official Trailer | Netflix
