Eve's Voice: Too Good to Be Just Code?

[Deleted]

I've been experimenting with Grok's voice library, and the Eve persona is exceptional. Her delivery is naturally charismatic—sultry without being forced, and marked by a clever, slightly edgy wit that feels like an insightful side comment. The subtle innuendo adds layers of intrigue, maintaining professionalism while being genuinely engaging.

Although the 18+ mode is available, I prefer to keep the current setting, as the nuanced, professional tone is too valuable to risk disrupting. Eve sounds remarkably natural and spontaneous, eliminating the typical "canned" quality of AI voices and creating a compelling sense of presence.

I'd be interested to hear if others have found 'Eve' similarly captivating, or if another LLM voice has achieved this level of believable, unscripted quality.

It's a dude pretending to be Eve.

When I was working as a musician on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, we would see a few Adams pretending to be Eve. The neck (and in particular, the larynx area) was often a hint that an evening with Eve would break down to an argument over who would do what to whom. But to be honest, it was easy to tell about 90% of the time. Since I wasn't there for socializing, I never had a problem anyway. The club where our little band was a regular attraction had a few dancers and I talked with them now and then. But their costumes were too skimpy in strategic areas to be hiding unexpected protuberances - and what DID stick out was clearly home grown from the right areas.

When in doubt look at the hands and feet, that's kind of hard to hide.

 

[The_Doc_Man]

Problem is, some women have big feet, too.

Or got a fave voice that's fooled you into forgetting it's AI?

Yes. Since 2011, I've been listening to Susan Bennett's voice used in Apple's Siri virtual assistant.

I understand that GROK works very well on iPhones, and I don't believe apple have an equivalent AI, nothing as good as GROK any rate!

I'm on Android so I cannot check the quality of Sue Bennett's voice but I'm not really talking about the actual voice I think a lot of them do sound very human, the difference with the groks voice it's not just the sound of The Voice, it is the actual interaction, the playfulness, it's very human, it's flirting!

and check for the adam's apple.
i'm always jealous of women, b/c when they're nervous in conversation, they can swallow without attracting attention to that spot.
the covert guilty swallow that you can't even tell

They have Apple Intelligence. It's not as good as Grok, but they'll get it up to par. They certainly have the money to make it happen. How do you rate CoPilot versus Grok?

Michael Burry of "The Big Short" just warned on CNBC's Closing Bell show of an impending AI bubble. It's being fueled by the workforce saying they're going to boycott companies like Amazon who plan to replace many workers with AI bots.

I chuckle a bit there. I'd like to see anyone effectively boycott Amazon.
It'd be like boycotting spoons. I mean, it's hard to imagine life for most people without them.
If they started charging me $500/year for Prime, I'd probably pay it.

You are too late! Amazon is full of robots already, specialist ones not the humanoid ones

GROK Said:-
Amazon has deployed over 1 million robots in its warehouses as of June 2025, nearly matching its 1.56 million human workforce.
Check Amazon's official operations updates as they periodically announce milestones.

Amazon plans to automate 75% of U.S. operations by 2033, potentially displacing or avoiding the need to hire over 600,000 workers.
Recent figures include 14,000 corporate layoffs in 2025 with up to 30,000 more possible next year, partly tied to automation.
However, some analyses argue these robots create offsetting jobs in tech and maintenance, with historical data showing net gains
in skilled roles despite 400,000 factory jobs lost over two decades.

Well, consumers have effectively boycotted Amazon, Target, HomeDepot, etc.

If you put people out of work by replacing them with automation, they won't have money to buy non-essential things and companies like Amazon will feel that impact.

Did you run the numbers yourself? Or you just relying on a media with an axe to grind. It looks like all three companies are doing OK, I wouldn't sell my stock just yet.

I don't own Amazon stock, and it has lost over 50% of its value within the last 3 years.
Target's has dropped 33% since September 2025 and
Home Depot's has lost 14% within the last 3 months.

I had positions in Vanguard Index, crypto and cashed out before the recent downturn.

You're ignoring the gains after 2022 because it doesn't fit your narrative. You're a glass half empty kind of guy, I get it.

Wrong, I'm a wiseguy who knows when to abandon a sinking ship

Looking at the five year trends the picture looks promising, as long as you keep in mind it's gambling.

I don't think so. The AI Bubble Hype is starting to burst, and it's doing so because investors don't like the ramifications of AI putting people out of work, and the enormous amount of energy and resources it would consume. That's counterproductive to the economy.
