Comment on Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks
FancyPantsFIRE@lemm.ee 6 days agoYou seem to be implying that’s ridiculous, but it is indeed exactly like that, though it’s not like I’m expecting every performance to be masterpiece.
It’s also pretty subjective, for example folks either seem to love or hate R. C. Bray. My mother can’t stand the guy’s style, I think he’s okay.

No, I think it’s great to be able to get rid of shitty voice work with the click of a button. Wish I could use it on my bf’s Brian Sanderson audiobooks. That guy’s simpering, exaggeratedly high pitched female voices are so unpleasant to listen to.

Ah, I see what you’re saying, I misunderstood and thought you were taking about picking a different book. Indeed, for the worst case scenario a mediocre AI voice could be an improvement!
