@local Doom marine Well this audio comes straight from Valves cancelled plans. Im pretty sure the diolgoue itself was given out by valve but never used in game. So they had this idea for a while.
I honestly prefer the version where Cave Johnson just died before the technology was ready, and his dying wish was for Caroline to use it instead. It makes it a little more tragic, what he thought was his one good act towards Caroline turns into this
Wasn't Caroline coerced into storing her consciousness on the Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System? There was a cut soundbite of Caroline resisting, apparently they didn't do that scene because it felt too rapey.
@@fede_233 I tend to use death of an author in these situations. Like I can in my eyes, say that that audio is probably how it went down.

@@namelessendless I could see it as a secret though. Like how the borealis’s dock can be found after some exploring. Yeah maybe a hidden room near the end of the old aperture bit, clean up the dialogue a bit and I could see this working.
An alternate ending to this could be that Cave's cube has a backup battery, which (seeing as this is an aperture produced machine) would make him realise he would continue to live for about 500 years. making him have a mental breakdown.
I read _reaction_ instead of recreation. I honestly thought this whole scene was real until the very end where I wondered where the reaction was, and why funke is doing walkthroughs now. Super impressive, the robot johnson voice worked almost perfectly, being stuck in a box and all.
You laugh, and then the tragedy of what you just witnessed starts to set in and you feel bad for laughing. You feel bad, but you laugh anyway. The telltale sign of a quality Portal joke.

The voice doesn’t quite have Cave Johnson’s unique cadence. I’d have assumed it was an impersonator, but the way the sentences end so abruptly made me realize it was an AI reading a script.
Because 2 years ago AI wasn't everywhere and no one talked about it, it was just a silly voice synthesizer back then. Now that everybody checks for AI use and we actually have to worry about it we do tend to look for it in every piece of media we see. Yes, right now, it is obvious.
So… apparently this is semi canon now. I mean, yeah, it’s a giant head instead of a cube, but he is still locked forever in a machine, which is an interesting parallel.
Well, Cave Johnson's giant metal head stills alive in Aperture Science's underground, powered by the energy of praying mantises, singing gregorian choirs alongside a stack of cybernetic toilets and a jello cake.
Can we just sit back and think about the fact this is AI talking to us None of the voice actors said this Imagine like 10 years from now, maybe less, when it sounds identical
first it's unused dialouge of cave in a cube, then it's an easter egg in a lego game of cave in a core, now its cave in a giant head... inconsistency is pain...
Pretty funny scene, but a little too dark (even by Portal standards) and on the nose compared to the rest of the game imo. I can see why they cut this bit
@@UT-Chara The exact dialogue seen in this video IS cut content. You can quite literally see the script for yourself by digging around in the game files.
Although this is very funny, I can see why they cut this. It doesn't really make sense for Cave to spend years building a giant supercomputer to house his consciousness then put himself into a small, depressed cube instead. The current explanation of "Cave died before the machine was ready / was too sick to be uploaded, so Caroline became GLaDOS instead because that was Cave's final order to his scientists" makes much more sense.
you're the first person to ever credit the AI you used, up until now I have never learned what it was that everyone had turned to since content was pumping out with rather mediocre voices since 15.ai has been down
I doubt Caroline was entirely deleted, I think she is part of GLaDOS, and GLaDOS only pretended to get rid of her. You do get to hear an entire symphony clearly directed at you (Chell) from Caroline at the end despite GLaDOS claiming she is gone.
@@TheGhoul95 not only that but I'm pretty sure one of the writers said glados lied about deleting Caroline. Although I don't know if this is true, so please take with a grain of salt.
@@ANGER2077 I think GLaDOS may be lying to herself, Caroline was her base, as is partially GhoulAvenue’s point, plus slight traces of sympathy remain in her as shown at the end. Which is what allows her to be so good at being so petty. But remember also GLaDOS is a pretty despicable person, ha. One thing the dev commentary DID say was they wanted her to NOT have an arc, that she didn’t GROW as a person because in the end it’s funnier and arguably more true to her spiteful nature to delete what annoys her rather than learn from it!
uberduck's ai is not very dynamic. 15.ai has a much better glados (and cave) TTS but it's been down for half a year so I have no access to it- this was the best I could work with basically.
@@MartinPurathur It didn't the creator just wanted to update it and didn't want people using an "outdated" version. Personally, I think that was a little dumb, but ultimately he doesn't owe us a website that's online 24/7. Though, I could be a bit biased because the creator is an asshole.
Why would they? Aperture Science is about moving forward, and GLaDOS has a very low amount of care for human life as it is. Chell? She more than likely hates Aperture Science by now.
