AI voiced audiobooks have been a boon to indie creators by giving them access to the audiobook market without having to paying for studio time for human narrators.
It means there’s now even more content for readers that needs filtering and narrators are losing gigs. This is what #disruption looks like. Two steps forward and one step back.
@carnage4life The best (most listenable) #audiobooks are voiced by human narrators who don’t merely read the sentences but tell the story.
“#AI” can’t do that because it doesn’t understand story. It does not conceptualize. It merely remixes and extrudes patterns. But pattern matching isn’t storytelling, though it pretends to be. It’s counterfeit storytelling driving human storytellers out of business. Consumers lose.
Who wins? The corporations that own & control these saying machines
@carnage4life Unless and until we democratize the gains from increases in efficiency that come from new tech like this it will be 10 steps back as AI crushes creative jobs
