  Man, that pendulum swing from “the uncarrier” to full blown horrible large corporation. That merger with Sprint sure has made things better for customers, right?

  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!

  You 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.

  For now at least I bet this’ll be pretty mediocre. I’m a big audiobook fan and voice actors have a massive impact on the quality of the finished product. A great voice actor can make a mediocre book fun and engaging, a bad one can make a great book unlistenable. The best do great voice differentiation. As an example I’ve really enjoyed Andrea Parsneau’s work in The Wandering Inn series.

  This vaguely reminds me of the song Fish Sticks by The Heligoats:

  You were baptized in a river

  I was thrown off a bridge

  Then I landed on a crab you slept with seahorses

  I started having seizures, you started having kids

  You found your inner self, I found my inner fish

  All I can think of is this scene from the Rejected cartoon.

  “It’s like chatgpt but it only prints replies on physical paper so it’s a premium experience, and the ai is expressive so it will use delightfully colorful, full page background images for its replies.”
