• Comment: No changes since the last submission have addressed the previous decline reasons or comments. Please try to fully address the issues brought up before re-submitting, or the draft may be rejected. Perryprog (talk) 14:11, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

• Comment: Issues noted have not been addressed. S0091 (talk) 17:06, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

• Comment: A large portion of the sources used are not reliable, notably The Batch, which appears to be the personal blog of Andrew Ng. The sources that are reliable, secondary sources (PC Gamer, Kotaku, etc.) only report on the website's existence as part of the hype in mid-January but fail to provide in-depth coverage as required by our notability guidelines, i.e. they only report that the websites exist and give a few examples how it is used. That there are multiple such sources is ultimately irrelevant (especially since most of them just reference Kotaku again). Before resubmitting the draft, please remove unreliable sources and try to find further reliable sources (compare with WP:RPS for general sources and WP:VG/RS for video game-specific sources) that provide in-depth information about the website.

15.ai is a freeware artificial intelligence web application that generates natural emotive high-quality text-to-speech voices from an assortment of fictional characters from a variety of media sources. Developed by an anonymous MIT researcher under the eponymous pseudonym 15, the project uses a combination of audio synthesis algorithms, speech synthesis deep neural networks, and sentiment analysis models to generate and serve emotive character voices faster than real-time, even those with a very small amount of data. The project began development while the developer was an undergraduate at MIT.

Available characters include GLaDOS and Wheatley from Portal, Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, SpongeBob from SpongeBob SquarePants, Daria Morgendorffer and Jane Lane from Daria, the Tenth Doctor from Doctor Who, HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey, the Narrator from The Stanley Parable, Super Smash Bros Announcer (formerly), Sans from Undertale, and Carl Brutananadilewski from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

On January 14, 2022, it was discovered that Voiceverse NFT, a company that video game voice actor Troy Baker announced his partnership with, had stolen voice lines generated from 15.ai as part of their marketing campaign without permission. The initial partnership between Troy Baker and Voiceverse was met with severe backlash and universally negative reception. Two weeks later, on January 31, Baker announced that he would discontinue his partnership with Voiceverse.
