What did these voices sound like, is there audio available somewhere?

I've always found automated voices incredibly annoying to listen to, the cadence is always wrong. I'd like to know if the "AI" voices were any different.

Some of the AI generated voices that I've heard so far sound almost human and a lot better than like Siri / Alexa / whatever

Yeah, they really are getting good. I use the Eleven Labs app on iOS to listen to articles and long posts.

The OpenAI voices sound fantastic too.

Good to know. I absolutely cannot stand any computer voice I've heard so far.
