AI can now generate humanlike prosodic patterns, but whether these cues influence social perception in the same way human voices do remains unknown. Our study recruited 40 native Chinese speakers to evaluate the effects of human and AI-cloned voices producing statements in a confident vs. doubtful tone of voice (prosody).
