  To rephrase my question: where can I listen to an example of good AI spoken content?

  People are more complicated than cars, and surgeons are no magicians. I think your idea of the reason of your mother’s surgeon for refusal might be a bit off:

  1. Without adequate pre- and post-op physiotherapy, a joint will likely be worse after surgery.

  2. If simple physiotherapy is already too painful, cutting into this overexcited tissue risks inducing a complex regional pain syndrome.

  3. If someone suffers from both depression and from too much pain to do physiotherapy, they need a multimodal pain therapy to prepare for surgery.

  So, based on the bit of info you provided, refusing surgery was very likely the right thing to do to avoid worsening your mother’s situation. What I di hate is when doctors don’t explain themselves and just say “I can’t help you”, but do not point patients to someone who can.

  Using different voices to read different parts of a book turns an audiobook into a bad audio play, and arguably, a bad audio play is worse than a mediocre audio book.

  What audible misses is, that, while reading is a technique that can be automated, narrating is an art. They can use AI to read books, they cannot use AI to narrate books.

  Your example of AI use is a good example of this: AI can read your content. AI can enhance your capabilities. But only you can narrate it.

  Did you ever heard a single AI-narrated content that did not make you run away screaming?

  I’ve got a Mexican coworker. She was terrified when she returned after her first sickday, fearing a profound scoulding by our consultant. She did get one - when she turned up sick a couple of weeks later :)

  Different providers have different spamfilters, different rules regarding html mails, attachment file size, use of tls, policies regarding exspired certificates, and might have different log in procedures, so yes, if there are problems the question which providers are involved.

  That’s actually not true. It’s made out of dozends independent non-profit organizations that are backed by hundreds of companies. And thousands of different independent hobby projects.
