Comment on Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks

  Because… the tool has no understanding of anything? It reads written words, yes, but no intention, no cultural context, no intonation. Unless everything is spelled out like a script, then it will not sound great, would it?

    Someone can manually go through it and correct and edit it, as one would a regular, human made recording. It’s not rocket science exactly

      These people just want to hate AI. Read through and see how many times they complain about copywrited material stolen, but claim piracy is the solution.

      If the “fix” for an AI implementation in a use case is, again, to manually correct it and find a less demanding audience then… yes, by definition it’s shitty.

      The point isn’t that it’s infeasible, just that it will be low quality.

        I mean you have to correct and edit human made stuff too, doesn’t mean it’s shit lol
