🚨 🎤 Breaking News from TechCrunch Disrupt 2025: AI is talking back, and it’s about to get a WHOLE lot weirder! 🤖💬 Meet Mati Staniszewski, the mad scientist behind ElevenLabs (they probably have a secret lair, no cap). This dude is on a mission to make voice AI so human-like, we might just have to start giving them names (real talk: “VoiceBot-69” is looking like a solid contender). 😜🔥 💥 From audiobooks to gaming avatars (shoutout to my gamers, what’s up?!), AI-generated voices are coming in hot 🔥! It’s going mainstream faster than your grandma learning how to Zoom call. 🦹‍♂️ But can we talk about the REAL question? Can these voices convince my mom to STOP texting me “Wyd?” in every single message? “Honestly, if we can make AI sound like Morgan Freeman, I’d sign a hundred NDAs,” Mati probably said while sipping oat milk lattes in a warehouse filled with servers. 🥴 So, is voice AI the future or just another cringe trend? 🤔 Either way, buckle up because 2025 is shaping up to be a ride! I’m fully predicting tech companies will start making dating apps where the AI voice reads your Tinder bio and says, “Ew, cringe!” Look out, folks! 🚀💔 In the words of Drake: “Voice AI, get in your bag!” 💰👾
