It’s a natural instinct to lower your defenses with someone who speaks like you. That doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do.

If it works, that's actually pretty cool tech!

I agree. There are times when I speak to someone that has an unfamiliar accent that my brain has trouble processing. They can be speaking fluent English , but I still struggle.

Whether I can understand someone or not, I still think it's really cool! That kind of real-time voice changing is amazing -- it would require not just tone shifts, but actually changing the speech sounds, which are really complex.

India is the largest English-speaking country. At some point their dialect should become the standard rather than the deviation.

Only 129 million English speakers in India according to Hindustan times. So USA is the country with the largest number of English speakers with over 300 million.

Wow! Finally! A use for AI! A means of kicking the metaphorical cat litter on the giant turd of private industry firing your neighbor to cut costs. I always knew they could figure it out eventually.
