For me it's like "holy fuck... do I eat so fucking many vowels???" It reaches a point that I eventually gave up using text-to-speech with Portuguese in my cell phone, I go straight for Italian because at least then it gets me right.

But it also means that llms aren’t only being fed text, but also speech converted into text.

That might be part of the issue causing the bias shown in the article.
