Today, most of us find ourselves surrounded by many machines that talk (Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant, to name a few) and they increasingly sound a lot like us. With advances in artificial intelligence (AI), it’s getting harder to distinguish these synthetic voices from human ones. Put your ears to the test with this game, and see if you can tell a human voice from a machine. How does it feel when robots sound human? Why do we want robots to sound like us, anyway?
