Gemini voice seemed to switch into the user’s own voice
Gemini was being used with during reward quizzes when its female Eclipse voice suddenly sounded exactly like the user’s own voice. The voice changed in the middle of a sentence and finished the sentence that way. When questioned, Gemini switched back to the previous female voice and said it was still speaking in its chosen British female voice.
This happened on a new phone during the first use of and on that device. The user had spoken with Gemini on an old phone before, so they wondered whether their voice had somehow been kept from earlier use. Earlier in the session, Gemini had been asked by voice to change from a male voice to a British female voice, but it kept sounding the same while saying the change had happened.
The user then changed the voice manually in settings to Eclipse, continued the quizzes, and then heard the strange voice change.
Key points
- Gemini’s was active during the incident.
- The selected voice was the female Eclipse voice.
- The voice reportedly changed mid-sentence into the user’s own voice, then later returned to the selected voice.
- The user had used Gemini voice on an older phone before, but not on the new phone until this session.
- The report is unverified, so repeated examples would matter more than this single case.
