As ever, I've been mucking around with ChatGPT's amazing Advanced Voice Mode when I really should be finding more productive applications of it...but, as I always say, pushing the boundaries with this stuff builds our confidence on how it can be deployed on 'proper' tasks.

So, as an 80s kid, I grew up watching repeats (endlessly) of the classic British sitcom Fawlty Towers. I don't think there's a line in the script I could't recite backwards.

Therefore, to push Advanced Voice Mode I gave it a voice prompt that I wanted to hear a 'radio' style audio play of Basil Fawlty interacting with various characters in the John Cleese and Connie Booth comedy; including Manuel, Sybil, the Major, and of course, some German guests. There are a couple of edits in the video where ChatGPT got itself concerned with its own guidelines, but other than that, this is pretty much verbatim on the chat.

AND YES....it's not particularly funny. These tools aren't - thankfully - that good at creativity. What I'm trying to show is the dexterity of the voice model, jumping between an array of characters as the story is generated on the fly.

Enjoy!
