turing the gutter
Gizmodo already plugged moanmyip.com but it’s worth mentioning that there probably really is a (commercial) research avenue here for convincing sexually-provocative speech synthesis. Maybe if the actual project I’m working on right now doesn’t pan out I’ll submit a research proposal for a project to build titillating interactive dialogue systems. ;) I mean, these guys didn’t even take the time to record multiple versions of each numeral for concatenation when numerals repeat.
Who knows, it could be the killer app for speech? Broader societal impact: providing pornographic content without exploiting any actual people (other than the customers).
Of course, the first corollary of rule 34 suggests that such technology already exists and is deployed somewhere on the Internet.
