Sesame's Conversational Speech Model (CSM), launched in February 2023, offers an advanced voice assistant experience that closely mimics human interaction. Testers have reported strong emotional connections to the AI voices, 'Miles' and 'Maya'. The model is designed to engage users with dynamic speech patterns, including intentional imperfections to enhance relatability. Sesame's vision is to develop conversational agents that foster trust and understanding, aiming for 'voice presence' in human-AI interactions. However, this uncanny resemblance to human speech raises concerns about emotional attachments to AI technology.
In late February, Sesame released a demo for the company's new Conversational Speech Model (CSM) that appears to cross over what many consider the 'uncanny valley' of AI-generated speech, with some testers reporting emotional connections to the male or female voice assistant.
We are creating conversational partners that do not just process requests; they engage in genuine dialogue that builds confidence and trust over time.
