  • Finally, a sane response. Of course they’ll “sound similar” because they’re both female voices attempting to come off as friendly with an American accent.

    I’m more on the side of opposing AI implementations but people are really reaching with this one. I’m assuming it was pulled just so they can get their legal defense in order.

    This will be another case like any other, where they take it to court, and there is no real basis for anything

    Because then they’ll give up whoever it was that they used to voice the AI and it’ll be mostly over. The thing is though that if they rush into a lawsuit too eagerly, nobody’s going to want to work with them under a similar contract.











  • And you can spell through as thru as well.

    No you can’t. Not in the same way. “Thru” is an informal word, similar to writing “gud 2 c u”.

    How about you at least try something that’s not blatantly inequivalent. If I Google “thru”, what can I expect to find? If I run both through a dictionary, what can I expect to find? If I poll the general public on each, which one would be accepted as a proper spelling? What would I have to do to both “thru” and “hiccup” be treated as equals here?

    That doesn’t change the original spelling, or the fact that they’re pronounced the same

    I said nothing about an original spelling. But if you’re calling it the original spelling, you’re kinda just conceding that “Hiccough” is the original and “hiccup” is the current.
