A shitty narrator can get me to hate a book I like.
And that is where I see potential for AI. There are quite a few books which I’d love to listen to but they are all narrated by a guy whose narration I can’t stand. AI would open the possibility to choose a voice and I might actually get to enjoy those books.
It’s Amazon though so the ethical implications and quality concerns are something I’m worried about.
Oh sorry, totally forgot that things cannot improve any longer /s
Just like with the narrator I dislike I will just not listen to the ones where AI was used if I don’t like it. It’s that simple.
And btw I’m not saying we should throw in the text and let the AI do everything. We can still have narration performers but use AI to create different styles.

Did you ever heard a single AI-narrated content that did not make you run away screaming?
You think they’ll be narrating books with Tiktok TTS?
Some use even worse, if YouTube content is any indication.
