I can not be the only person here picturing an automated taco dispensing robot, based on that name…

If the robot overlords are taco dispensing ones I am so so so good with that.

You got 3 out of 4 correct. (You missed #3.)
I fell in love with a Tacotron once, but she was in love with 659 others, simultaneously, and then she suddenly ghosted us.

Ok, it burbs.

Well, two things are for sure: one voice belongs to a human-ish bot, and the other a bot-ish humanoid.

Wait a minute. Why would they have a human and a computer-generated voice sound so alike? No difference in accent, tone, or anything, just subtle differences in emphasis in the sample phrases. So they trained the AI using that particular voice actor’s speech patterns? I’m not so impressed unless it really is out-of-sample speech generation.
And then I’m wondering, why did they pick a voice actor who sounds so robotic?

I like the first voice in each of the four examples. Now what does it say about me?
I doubt that the “AI” wouldn’t cut itself in a longer conversation though. I’d still like the human more because, just imagine: the “perfect” woman.
Ummmm…none of them sound human…

Yeah, I thought the human voice was the first of each pair.

All of the samples sound artificial to me.
Apparently, I am a machine with a defective pattern recognizer.
That’s not a surprise.
