It was imperfection that gave rise to perfection. What if you take a human-like voice and design the emphasis so that it doesn&#8217;t match what the machine says? This creates an effect that can be associated with the Uncanny Valley effect. In this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oliverbendel.de\/toene\/allison.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">example<\/a>, produced using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.informationsethik.net\/?p=6105\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SSML<\/a>, Allison tells you something very sad with a euphoric voice. It sounds a little creepy. Then she tells you something positive with an expression of regret. That sounds pretty weird. Of course, one can imagine a certain context. One can assume that the robot would also like to be a human being and that it is therefore envious of humans and full of sadness about its existence. Then you&#8217;d have a jealous, sad robot that doesn&#8217;t say what it means. Research is already underway in this area. In 2014 Jan Romportl published the <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/chapter\/10.1007\/978-3-319-10816-2_72\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">paper<\/a> &#8222;Speech Synthesis and Uncanny Valley&#8220;. More research is needed to better understand the effect of the synthetic voice. An interesting method is to make the emphasis inappropriate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/maschinenethik.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pop-art.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4832\" src=\"https:\/\/maschinenethik.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pop-art.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"732\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maschinenethik.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pop-art.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.maschinenethik.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pop-art-300x172.png 300w, https:\/\/www.maschinenethik.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pop-art-768x439.png 768w, https:\/\/www.maschinenethik.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pop-art-1024x586.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fig.: The emphasis is inappropriate<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google Duplex convinced not only with its voice, but also with its emphasis and way of speaking.
