I listened to the preview link in the article and the narration is surprisingly
good. But I completely agree, nothing could ever be better than human
narration for me. And its totally wrong for companies to try to replace people
with robots just for profet. Its disgusting.

I don't know, it wasn't all that long ago that we couldn't have imagined
AI narrated books at all.
Things are moving fast, so I wouldn't be too quick to conclude that AI
narrated books could never be of the same quality as human narrated ones.

Well, there's probably also nothing like a human voice reading a book badly.
Now I'm not dissing Learning Ally. I have used them quite a bit and

AI still has the issues of normal speech synthesis. I was listening to the
sample of one, and it couldn't tell the difference between the present and
past tense of the word "read." They'll still have pronunciation issues, and
I would never want it to read a Brandon Sanderson book.

Well, all I can say is that, in all certainty, I flatly believe that such
digital voices are quite good for some books, not for all. However, I also
believe that is fair to say that AI is just goi
ctual phenomenon in AI labs.

It is just another way to read books. It means that more books will be available for more people. I have read books with text to speech for years and the voices they have now, particularly with apps, such as voice dream, are so good after a while you don’t even notice it. At least I don’t. I rememb
