I inserted the non-verbal command "(pauses)" in the middle of a sentence and I think I caused it to have an aneurysm.

It starts with an intro, too. Really strange
I have a hunch they're pulling data from radio shows to give it that "high quality" vibe. Tried running it through this script and hit some weird bugs too:
[S1] It really sounds as if they've started using NPR to source TTS models
[S2] Yeah... yeah... it's kind of disturbing (laughs dejectedly).
[S3] I really wish, that they would just Stop with this.
https://i.horizon.pics/Tx2PrPTRM3 The “Yeah…” followed by an uncomfortably long pause then a second “Yeah…” killed me.
It even added an extra f-word at the end. Still veeery impressive
Oh brother imagine using this and noticing 4 months in that it randomly throws f-words for flavor at your users
I think it also said "maaan" at the end of the previous line. And speaks out lout the "dejectedly".
