Why don't AI systems have "good" voices?

Is it difficult to engineer an AI system that actually sounds like a human (in terms of speaking)?

I'm not sure what AI and voice synthesizers have to do with each other, but I can tell you that recognizing and creating human speech, different though they are, are both VERY difficult.

It's one of many areas where human's abilities at pattern recognition is WAY ahead of anything computers are currently able to do.

Human speech is "inflected" with changes of pitch, amplitude, and speed (relative length of vowels, etc) depending on the MEANING of what is being said.

For example
"JOHN ran down these stairs" (i.e John ran down, but somebody else did not).
"John RAN down these stairs" (i.e he didn't walk).
"John ran DOWN these stairs" (i.e. he didn't run up them).
"John ran down THESE stairs" (i.e. not some other stairs)
"John ran down these STAIRS" (i.e. not down the street).

Once you can get a computer to understand meaning the same way that a human does, speech generation should be pretty simple IMO.

There are a few reasons why AI systems may not have "good" voices. First, creating a natural-sounding voice for an AI system requires advanced technology and algorithms that can accurately mimic human speech patterns, intonations, and emotions. This is a challenging task and may not be a top priority for developers of AI systems.

Additionally, the cost of developing and implementing high-quality voice technology may be prohibitive for some AI systems. As a result, many AI systems may use basic or synthesized voices that may not sound as natural or human-like.

Furthermore, the concept of a "good" voice is subjective and can vary based on cultural and personal preferences. It is difficult to create a voice that will please everyone and meet their expectations of what a "good" voice should sound like.

Overall, while there have been advancements in AI voice technology, it is still a complex and ongoing area of research and development. As AI technology continues to evolve, we may see improvements in the quality of AI voices, but it may never fully match the complexity and nuances of human speech.
