Is That an Advanced AI Voice Recording?
I study English mostly as a hobby rather than for practical purposes.
Recently, however, I had to participate in international research for work, which required me to go through an English online manual and answer questions in an e-learning format.
The manual was narrated in a standard American English accent, which made me easy to understand.
At first, I didn't even consider whether the voice was human or AI.
Since she didn't stumble over her words, I assume that she or the voice was created by AI.
However, in the third or fourth chapter, I noticed uncomfortable inspiratory breathing sounds between each sentence as if the speaker was taking a breath just before starting the next sentence. But the quality of those breathing sounds seemed to be almost the same or even "Identical" every time.
I became distracted by these breathing sounds that I lost track of the manual's content, and was wondering whether the narration was done by a human or it was an AI voice that even mimicked the human inspiratory breathing sound.
When the next chapter began, the breathing sound was completely gone, and the narration returned to its previous state without any breathing noises.
What could it mean that only one chapter had these breathing sounds?
Was the chapter recorded by a human for some reason, or did they use a prototype program that simulated human breathing just for that chapter?
It's a complete mystery.
Does anyone know about AI voices that mimic even the sound of breathing?
それって、AIボイスレコーディングの進化形？
僕が英語の勉強をしているのは、ほとんど実用的な目的ではなく、趣味の世界で楽しんでいる。
ところが、最近、仕事上で国際的なリサーチに参加しなければならなくなり、その英語のオンラインマニュアルを聞いて、問題にこたえるe-learningをせねばならない羽目になった。
マニュアルを読み上げているのは、標準的なアメリカ英語のアクセントであり、聞きやすかった。途中まで、その読み上げが、人間なのか、AIなのかも全く気にしていなかった。全く噛まないから、多分AI音声なのだと思う。
ところが、途中で、文章毎に、吸気の呼吸音が入るようになった。次の文章を読み始める直前に吸気の呼吸音が入る。ただその呼吸音は毎回同じ音に聞こえる。
僕はその呼吸音のことが気になって、マニュアルの内容はそっちのけで、その音声ガイダンスが人間によってしゃべられているのか、吸気音まで真似して合成されたAI音声なのか、どちらだろうと考えていた。
次のチャプターに入ると、元の吸気呼吸音が全く入らないアナウンスに戻った。
１つのチャプターだけ吸気音が入るというのはどういうことなのだろうか。
そのチャプターだけ、人間が音声を録音したのだろうか。それとも、そのチャプターだけ、人間の息継ぎまで真似したプログラムを採用したのだろうか。
全くのなぞである。
誰か、息継ぎまで真似するAIの音声のことを御存じでしょうか？

you could also say "question whether"
Since she didn't stumble over her words, I assumed that she or thewas a voice was created by AI.
I think this flows better. If you wanted to keep it similar to how you've written it, I'd do it this way: I assumed that "she", or her voice, was created by AI.
However, in the third or fourth chapter, I noticed uncomfortable inspiratory breathhaling sounds between each sentence, as if the speaker was taking a breath just before starting the next sentence.
But the quality of those breathing sounds seemed to be almost the same or even "Iidentical" every time.
I became so distracted by these breathing sounds that I lost track of the manual's content, and was wondering whether the narration was done by a human or if it was an AI voice that even mimicked the human inspiratory breathing soundsound of inhaling.
When the next chapter began, the breathing sound was completely gone, and the narration returned to its previous state without any breathing noises.
What could it mean that only one chapter had these breathing sounds?
Was the chapter recorded by a human for some reason, or did they use a prototype program that simulated human breathing just for that chapter?

Very well written! The idea of AI imitating breathing is disturbing...

Thank you for your corrections and comment.

Exactly.
I somehow thought of Darth Vader's respirator sound.
Hahaha
