Install the [tortoise-tts-fast](https://github.com/152334H/tortoise-tts-fast) repository. 5 6 - Using Chatterbot in conjunction with LLaMA.cpp will allow us to create a hybrid chatbot engine. 7 - This will help reduce response times for simple prompts such as 'Hello!' or 'What's your name?' 8 - More difficult questions such as "What is the meaning of life?" should make use of large language models in order to generate thoughtful and creative responses. 9 - Thoughtful and creative responses will require the user to wait at least 20-30 seconds. 10 - The illusion of long waiting times can be reduced with filler sentences such as "Hold on, just as econd." or "Alright. Just let me think about it..." 11 - Each filler sentence or predictable phrase (e.g. "Hello!", "Thank you!", "I'm not sure.", "Let me think.") should each have a dedicated folder with pre-recorded audio snippets, in order to reduce processing times as much as possible.
