Simple Talking AI in the Command Line

Go to Google Cloud Console and OpenAI API Keys to generate API credentials.
Edit the PHP script Speaking_AI.php to find & replace these API keys: OPEN_API_KEY and GOOGLE_API_KEY. Alternatively, set them up as environment variables: GOOGLE_TTS_KEY,OPEN_AI_API_KEY,AI_PATH.
Optional: Open ai with nano ./ai and customize your AI's voice characteristics. See the Chatting section.
Install ai with the command chmod +x ./ai; and copy it into your local bin folder sudo cp ./ai /usr/local/bin;
Run it directly from the command line: ai bake chocolate chip cookies

Clone and install the AI by replacing those variables:

git clone https://github.com/bentbot/Talking-AI.git
cd Talking-AI
nano Speaking_AI.php ai
chmod +x ./ai
sudo cp ./ai /usr/local/bin
ai hello world

Play with the AI:

$ ai joke

 Why couldn't the bicycle stand up by itself? 

Because it was two-tired.

ai --help
  Run the script with regular script notation. Example:
   ai --voices [see all voices available]
   ai [chat] 'make a demand' [pitch] 2 [speakingRate] 2.3 [volume] 1 [voice] 'en-US-Studio-M' [language] 'en-us'
      [chat] 'Ask for something here' 
      [pitch] 0.9 / 1 / 1.3 / 2
      [speakingRate] 0.8 / 1 / 1.2 / 2.3
      [volume] 0.2 / 0.4 / 0.6 / 1 / 0 (mute)
      [voice] 'en-US-Studio-M' / 'en-US-Wavenet-I' / false (mute) / 0 (mute)

Just run the PHP script on a web server or in the command line with regular PHP notation.

  php Speaking_AI.php "Ask me a question..." [prompt] [pitch 0.25-4] [speaking rate] [volume 0-1] [voice]

Please note that some answers that the AI may provide could include computer code and may not be considered short enough to synthesize to speech. Therefore, long text will sometimes appear and audio may not play.

Troubleshooting

Make sure all required dependencies (ai, afplay, ffplay) are located in your local system bin folder
Please make sure you have afplay or ffplay by ffmpeg installed and ready in order to hear the voices.
Make sure you've signed up for Google Text-To-Speech Console and OpenAI ChatGPT API access systems and inserted your API keys.
Do you have PHP installed on your computer system?
