I managed to break Google TTS in a similar manner with a very long string of '88888888' on repeat, and had some fun making an ambient phonepunk spooky track out of it.

I broke Google TTS.

Content notice: Spooky audio, some possibly annoying binaural telephone noises. Mixed for stereo separation. Listen through headphones or a good room-size stereo monitor. Using psychoactive substances while listening is not a good idea whatsoever. I take no responsibility for you having such a bad trip. I uh, put the transcript of the call from "I broke IKEA" into Google TTS, including all the 8's I cut out from that audio (it was 2:24 before editing, just for comparison.) I was fighting with the API sometimes, it would 400 out because my "sentences" were "too long" or "produced too much audio", lol. Got some fun results, so I threw this together. Hope it turned out alright. Thanks to this post for the idea: https://cohost.org/SnepShark/post/5195186-real-i-broke-ikea [https://cohost.org/SnepShark/post/5195186-real-i-broke-ikea] For a transcript, see the original post, "I broke IKEA."
