The app this is advertising helps non-native speakers with their accent, I assume to sound more American. This is a great goal, and I'm sure there are a lot of people who would be willing to pay the $200-$300 yearly subscription cost. Apparently the AI part is not even the main function of the app, that's what the extra $100 are paying for[1].

I would be interested in an AI-only product that would help me learn to passably immitate various English accents, like Australian, Irish and so forth, for fun. I know that ChatGPT Voice can do accents pretty well, I've been wondering if it would also be able to help me with mine, but I haven't tried it seriously.

I could absolutely see people be willing to pay for this. I am from the Midwest in the United States and I happened to be at an airport in some foreign country. Someone else heard me talking and they came up and asked me where I learned to speak English because it was so smooth. They were looking to get lessons to make their English better or at least more smooth. I thought their English was fine and they were a bit disappointed when I mentioned I was from the United States.

Do people want to learn to speak English like a twangy guitar on purpose?

It's kind of annoying when services like this provide a free trial that you have to give a credit card number to even try, capitalizing on people forgetting to unsubscribe after trying.

Also, I'm very suspicious when a credit card form is on $site.com rather than $financial-institution.com

I would pay for an equivalent app that helped my German pronunciation

I would be interested in an equivalent app for Japanese.
