Read original comment ↗That was one of my first thoughts too [1]. I doubt it currently will do so as it does sound fairly robotic. It does sound closer however than other demos I've heard so i think we're probably on the way. [1] [VIDEO]

Read original comment ↗Huh. This is strange. It's asking me to say "My voice is my passport. Authorize me." (Hint: [VIDEO] )
