About 9 months ago I was working on building an Icecast server from scratch, with the gimmick being that between songs there would be AI-generated DJs that would give the normal corny banter you hear on the regular radio. I was initially using OpenAI for everything, but TTS from OpenAI ended up being kind of pricey.

So I started looking into models I could self-host for this stuff.

I can't remember which model it was, but one of them was kind of amusing because it would be two DJs signing off endlessly

DJ1: "Thanks for listening to WTOM, this has been Greg, signing off for tonight"

DJ2: "You said it Greg, it's been a great night, this is Bill, signing out"

DJ1: "Absolutely Bill, playing you out on a July evening this has been Greg from WTOM"

DJ2: "You better believe it, have a great night everyone! From WTOM this is Bill, wishing you a lovely Wednesday"

And it just kept going. Out of morbid curiosity I just let it keep going for an hour one day and they never stopped "signing out". I found it endlessly amusing.
