Awwwwww.
thats just sad
Sounds like she needs a sound board that samples a chorus, rather than just one person.
(TUNE: “Love And Marriage”, Cahn & Van Heusen)
Girlfriend posse, girlfriend posse …
Who’s supportive and who isn’t bossy!
That would be my own choice,
But I’ve just got this stupid phone voice!
Stupid speech app, stupid speech app …
This emotionless and boring speech cr*p!
Getting cheered by Siri,
Her voice so dreary makes me weary!
No, no emphasis or stress,
It’s … dragging my butt down!
So, so, so emotionless
Like HAL … when he was shut down!
Need a friend now, need a friend now,
Someone real on whom I can depend now,
Helpful sympathizer …
As bugs I swat,
I curse my lot!
I’ve only got
This syn-the-si-i-i-zer!
Excellenter thanb usual, Ed.
She asked for an “Amen,” not a “You go, girl”…
Well, “Amen” is an Aramaic word that means “Truly” or “It is so” or “Let it be so.” “You go, girl” isn’t that far off.
I would pay money for an app that turned the speech patterns of Siri into those of Tigerlily Jones. Or Sweetdaddy Jupiter Velvet, whichever.
…
… And now I kind of want to see Jonah and Nera meet Tigerlily, preferably in the company of some of her creations. “Kind of,” in pretty much the same sense that the floor of the Marianas Trench can be described as “kind of” damp.
So how long before Nera’s mom upgrades her phone to an A.I.? It will be more supportive then, and totally in tune with everything else they’re doing.
She can even install an “weird stuff” detector app to help with the blog.
so speaking of nera’s mom. anybody got a read on her? the most i’ve seen from her is a hyper-competant government agent non-character… where does she fall in all of this?
