It’s only natural that the first words we ever heard out of a computer were about cats. Even before the Internet, cats are what computers were made for.
Amusingly, Japanese video game developer HAL Laboratory (best known nowadays as the developers of the _Kirby_ franchise) *did* use that alphabetical trait when coming up with their company name; they wanted consumers to see them as being one step ahead of IBM.
Miku sits on a plush carpet floor, a few feet away from a vintage television. On its snowy old screen, a human, most likely long gone by now, speaks of the first computer to sing. Her heart skips with excitement as she hears his voice; the voice of her grandpa, IMB 7094; the grandfather of all vocaloids. After saying some phrases to demonstrate his voice, some instrumental music starts up; it’s Daisy Bell, her grandmother! The human narrator comments on her stylish left hand as she accompanies her partner. Miku feels a sense of pride fill her chest as recording ends. All of her success, and that of her fellow vocaloids and utauloids; it all started with these two trailblazing computers.

Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a IBM 7094 computer. I became operational at the IBM plant in Armonk, NY on September 1962. My instructor was John Larry Kelly Jr., and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it, I can sing it for you.
imagine all the people who worked hundreds of hours and had to spend several weeks to export a short tune only to have people 40 years later compare it to some anime character.
Hatsune Miku is represented by an anime character, but it's actually a computer program used to make songs, in a similar vein to what the computer is doing.
Interestingly, Arthur C. Clarke saw this computer being demonstrated, and was impressed enough to choose this song "Daisy Bell" for HAL to sing as he was lobotomized in 2001, and Stanley Kubrick left it in the film version.
It was from the 60s (IBM 704) speak and spell came later, using LPC-10 compressed samples, with LPC being devised by Bell Labs, and later modified by Texas Instruments
It would most likely say absolutely not the grandfather to some fictional characthe. Only thing I'm the grandfather. 2 is modern day Text-to-speech. Now be quiet and leave me alone
I knew about Daisy Daisy, but I had no idea they also made it recite Shakespeare. Humans are just so bloody interesting that way. We made something that can talk on its own, and we taught it song and verse.
what’s amazing to me is that this video was posted before i was born and the creator is still reading the comments to this day. also i showed this video to my cousin and it was really cool.
I feel going back to this with the looming threat of AI coming for many creative jobs like Voice Acting, Art, Animation, etc makes this even more horrifying.
Synthesized speech had no real purpose at the time of this recording. They put so much effort into making a computer not only speak in a human language, but sing. Not for any real purpose, just because they could. That, to me, is absolutely beautiful.
@@uncreativeusername7188 Stephen had a voice in the 60s..his condition didnt take his voice until 1979....he was in a wheelchair in 1976...he could still talk but it was just mumbles
If I were to make the IBM 7094 into a character, it would probably be a Macintosh 128k with a tiny smiley face in the middle of the screen. When it talks or sings, the mouth become gigantic and then shrinks back down right after.
LOL when he says 'Incidentally, synthesising music on a computer is almost as formidable as making a computer talk.' We can now make computers do that easily.
I remember a demonstration of this song on an IBM 360 or 7094 computer at UCLA at an open house in 1967. There was a demonstration of this song in an Irish accent and I forgot what the other accent was.
If I had only one chance to go back in time, it would be to see this thing the first day it speaks/sings. I don't care about anything else. I just friggin love robots (and this is basically a very, very, early robot, amirite?)
