Since announcing a beta tool last year allowing self-published authors to generate AI "virtual voice" narrations for their ebooks, over 40,000 AI-narrated titles have flooded onto Audible,...

I definitely do not want to support this practice, but there’s no way to filter these out 😠.

      Yeah but I’m talkin’ any book. Not just the ones I could take the time to record myself reading. Imagine anyone being able to have any book read to them in any voice, including my deceased grandmother’s. We have some recordings of her voice that would be enough to train AI so I could have her read me any book. That’s what I’m talkin’ about.

        You seen the Black Mirror episode where she makes a robot of her dead husband?

        People need to process their grief and move on. It’s important. You use AI to create a world where people never grieve, you’ll create a world that never moves on. Never improves. Stuck in the past, trying endlessly to recapture something that doesn’t exist in the present and cannot grow in the future.

        There’s an AI tool that lets you talk to your ex. You put in your chats, it creates an AI of your ex, and you can talk to them, even date them. Thing is, it’s a business. They want your money. They’re going to exploit you sooner or later. Imagine how much bigger the market is with lost loved ones. Capitalists should NOT be selling love. It’s dangerous.
