In the video where the 2 AI's sing together, it starts to get really cringey and weird to the point where it literally sounds like it's being faked by 2 voice actors off-screen with literal guns to their heads trying not to cry, did anyone else get that impression?

The tonal talking was impressive, but man that part was like, is someone being tortured or forced against their will?

I think this demo is more for showing the limit like "It can sing isn't it amazing?" than being practical, and I think it perfectly served the purpose.

I agree that the tortured impression. It partly comes from the facial expression of the presenter. She's clearly enjoying pushing it to the edge.

It didn’t just demonstrate the ability to sing, but also the ability for two AIs to cooperate! I’m not sure which was more impressive

Absolutely. It felt like some kind of new uncanny valley. The over the top happiness of the forced singing sounded like torture, or like they were about to cry.

Amazing tech, but that was my human experience of it.
