What Happened
Text generated by artificial intelligence often has a particular vibe that gives it away as machine-generated, but it has become harder to pick out those idiosyncrasies as the tech has improved.
Why It Matters

Key Details

- It's rolling out in some Google products starting today, and developers will be able to start building their own chatty robots with the model, too.
- Google says this AI is much faster and produces speech with a more natural cadence, aiming to solve a long-running issue with AI-generated speech.
- Like a chatbot, there's always a delay between input and output in generative audio systems.
