Wait, there was a new version of AIVoice, AIVoice 2 that I didn't know about, and it works on Mac now. Useful for creating audio for listening compression? Well…
Believe it or not, these Japanese TTS programs are pretty useful for listening practice, and surprisingly accurate due to advancements in TTS. Since there is a sale on them, it may be worth sharing my thoughts on which one is the best for those who need more listening practice or want to create content, in Japanese. Also, voice banks from well known Seiyuus as well.
What bullshit. This is from the guy whose project got its start from Mozilla in the form of their open source TTS project. Now they've rolled all that into a for profit company, hiding the newer stuff behind this non-commercial shit.

People overestimate what "AI" of today is and what it can actually do, because memes are spreading that describe any machine-assisted process in a highly glossed-over form, ignoring the required human effort to make it work.
The naive impression is that you just gave some generative engine a prompt and the result came out fully formed, when the actual process is that the people behind the project used multiple purpose-built engines, for each of the engines they iterated on prompts that would output something semi-coherent, and then they used human efforts to tie the result together.
This is currently spreading as "this AI-generated pizza commercial" with no further explanation, but Tom's Hardware interviewed the actual people who made it work:
