It seems to get this wrong:

"$99/mo (non-commercial use) too rich for my blood."

Hey, the developer Eric here. Thanks for checking out this super early version of the project. How can I make it right?

Put that in the demo and listen to it.

Oh, got it. You mean it doesn't pronounce "$99/mo" correctly? Yeah, there are quite a few cases like this where we don't translate symbols, abbreviations, etc quite right, yet. But unfortunately, in this case, I spelled out "$99 per month" but it still sounds awkward.

I could be wrong but I feel like you've missed the sarcasm....

There was a technical issue with the how it sounded but, yes the underlining point was you need some kind of pay as you go model or something. if you can't offer a free tier.

Don't get me wrong it's pretty cool tech if you trained your own model.

I'm also having a hard time coming up a use case. Outside of spam and games I'm having a hard time coming up with generative AI is useful at all anyway.

The more real it sounds, the more dangerous it can be. Personally, I want to know I'm talking to a computer the second it "opens it's mouth".
