I just listened to this AI generated audiobook and if it didn’t say it was AI, I’d have thought it was human-made. It has different voices, dramatization, sound effects… The last I’d heard about this tech was a post saying Stephen Fry’s voice was stolen and replicated by AI. But since then, nothing, even though it’s clearly advanced incredibly fast. You’d expect more buzz for something that went from detectable as AI to indistinguishable from humans so quickly. How is it that no one is talking about AI generated audiobooks and their rapid improvement? This seems like a huge deal to me.

    Personally I don’t consume audiobooks so this doesn’t affect me at all.

      Ok? So what if you did consume them. Would you have any thoughts then, so that you can actually contribute a meaningful comment to this topic?

        The topic was “Why isn’t everyone talking about AI generated audiobooks?”. Which I answered. Maybe if you spent more time reading yourself you would have comprehended that.
