Block's Dessa AI Voice Is CRAZY: It LAUGHS Mid-Sentence (I Played the Real Demos)

Block (Jack Dorsey's company) just unveiled Dessa, a speech-to-speech AI trained only on human speech, and it is trending on X. In this video I go through the whole block.xyz/dessa page, play short excerpts of the real demo recordings, and separate what Block claims from what I could actually check. Chapters: 0:00 The AI that laughs mid-sentence 0:28 Why voice AI sucks today 1:06 What Dessa is (Block's claims) 1:43 Why it is trending on X 2:17 The real demo recordings 8:16 What you just heard 8:32 Skeptic hat on 9:24 Why this matters 10:00 Can you use it today? 10:25 My verdict 10:46 Outro Sources: https://block.xyz/dessa and the X trend page (a Grok-generated summary, may contain mistakes). Demo recordings are by Block, shown as short excerpts with credit. I have NOT tested Dessa myself: access is waitlist only. Disclosure: my voice is AI-cloned and the avatar clips are AI-generated.
