The future is already here) Duplex is an AI program capable of speaking in a natural language (in the examples – English).

There are demo recordings at the link, and even if you don’t know English, listen to them just as a fresh example of synthesized speech.

Essentially, on the other end of the line, it’s impossible to guess that you’re talking to a robot.

At the link, the developers ordered some so-so food for themselves, sitting pleased)

Interesting information.

June-August 1894. Oliver Lodge demonstrated the transmission of a radio signal (using Morse code) over 40 meters. However, the device was not reliable enough. Lodge did not further develop his experiments. To some extent, he was the first, not Popov and Marconi. http://collection.sciencemuseum.org.uk/objects/co35266/hertzian-oscillator-1890-1894-scientific-equipment

April 1895 (8 months later) A. Popov demonstrated a test protocol of a device receiving radio waves. http://www.museum.ru/C6571

March 1896 (a year later) A. Popov demonstrated the world’s first radio transmission and reception of meaningful text from one building to another over a distance of about 250 m.

September 1896. Marconi conducted his first public demonstration of his receiver and transmitter on Salisbury Plain, achieving transmission of radiograms over a distance of 3 km.

A year later, Tesla was already demonstrating transmission over 30 km.

This relates to the questions of “who was first” and “how science works”

And I was a part of this 😉 happy holiday)

“… The celebration of Radio Day at the Ryazan State Radio Engineering University annually gathers thousands of students and graduates at the walls of the educational institution. The holiday begins with a procession on the night of May 7th around the monument to A.S. Popov, near the university building. Celebrants greet each other with the words: ‘Popov has risen!’. In response, it is customary to reply: ‘Truly, Popov!’. It is a tradition to give friends painted radio tubes and attach radio parts to clothing. Since 2012, the university administration has been taking measures to prevent the night-time part of the event’s celebration…”
