7.0

We start at 5.0 (default corporate confidence), add points for buzzword gymnastics and benchmark flexing, subtract points if you brought actual shipping receipts, then clamp it between 0 and 10 so the delusion stays numerically manageable.

ORIGINAL POST"Today we launched Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS, our most expressive and controllable text-to-speech model yet.

This launch [excitement] includes audio tags! 🗣🏷 Audio tags [explanatory] are a seamless way to guide vocal style, pace, and delivery using natural language commands embedded https://t.co/hNeHreY7N3"View on X →

WHAT THEY MEANT

We've taken text-to-speech and sprinkled magical 'innovation dust' by adding tags that basically let you say 'talk faster' or 'sound excited' - which totally merits a full product launch announcement with excitement and explanatory emojis. Prepare to be AMAZED by our groundbreaking ability to do what voice directors have done manually for decades, but now with TECHNOLOGY™. Rejoice, for we have solved the incredibly complex problem of 'telling a computer how to sound'!

REALITY CHECK

This is a modest incremental improvement to text-to-speech with some natural language control parameters. The core functionality remains fundamentally similar to existing TTS systems, just with slightly more granular input mechanisms. Most users will likely experience minimal perceptible difference in actual audio generation.
