Recommended input for anyone trying this out:

Voice: Onyx

Vibe: Heavy german accent, doing an Arnold Schwarzenegger impression, way over the top for comedic effect. Deep booming voice, uses pauses for dramatic effect.

My recommendation for Ash:

Delivery: Cow noises. You are actually a cow. You can only moo and grunt. No human noises. Only moo. No words.

Pauses: Moo and grunt between sentences. Some burps and farts.

Tone: Cow.

Hilarious. In addition to lots of moo's and moo-ack's it hallucinated random words and phrases that weren't in the script.

Weird; trying exactly this, and every time I stop and play again, I get a totally different voice. One of them (if I'm not mistaken) was cod-Russian.

I also find this strange, and I wonder if I can get a consistent voice out of this. If using the api with a vibe/instructions for a back and forth, will it be consistent? This example app they provide implies no?

Yeah, that's both odd and very unfortunate, it seems incredibly nondeterministic. Even running this with the same exact parameters over and over gives widely different results.

This is hilarious, extra points if you get it to say:

"Get to the chopper now and PUT THAT COOKIE DOWN NOWWWW"

so good! https://www.openai.fm/#28540f27-5b51-445a-b1d6-1c89711a2c4f

Weird 1 in maybe 5 times when I refresh that page I get a very good Arnold. The rest are very bad.

I hit Play 3 times and got 3 very different results.

One merely sounded like it had a slight German accent, once just sounded kind of raspy, and the third sound like a normal American English speaker.

interesting to see what accents do and do not work
