Yes I'm wondering if I accidentally retrained it with my correction. I got really excited at the possibility of learning Morse via a chat bot. But in reality I feel it needs to be done with sound as well. I have no doubt coding such an app with a conversational tutor specific for the teaching of Morse code would be easy job for someone out there.
That was a fairly impressive conversation, I thought... better than some QSOs I've had in the past! OK, yes, it got the Morse wrong but I wonder if it will learn from that, as these things are supposed to. It'll probably be reading at 25WPM by next week. And it used emojis too.
Sadly I was also thinking how good a QSO it was. But if you check out the voices available I think you will be amazed. Really human.
You could already have one run a competition for you and join in with the 5&9 brigade. Signal reports are easy to give. People already record their CQ calls so they don't have to repeat themselves. It's hardly a leap to have a chatbot emulate your voice.
I wonder if Yaesu or iCom will add it to their next radios. I can just see the advert. "With our new HAMBOT you can work multiple frequencies and bands simultaneously with voice, VARAC, morse or FT8". 🤣
I came across them at a festival because of Chumbawamba, but you have reminded me I have nothing in my own music collection. :-) Thank you for the nudge. I wonder if they are is crazy and eclectic as I remember.
In regards to Jammers making things interesting. Over here in the UK. We have an aged amateur radio population who very much look forward to their local net. Although it's exciting to hear something different on the airwaves, I can understand their frustration. I used to enjoy triangulating signals back in my CB days and tracking down the perps. It was all part of the fun. Nobody seems to want to do that nowadays. They just wait for the local authority to do something. Which will never happen. In fact, I don't remember it ever happening outside of the 1980s :-)
That AI's knowledge of Morse is worse than mine. I can get that ".-." could be "A", with a period/full stop, but it really fell to pieces with "B".

The jammers messing about are what make it interesting. Ever listen to Negativland?
