Next: please protect voice actors and audiobook narrators.
Using AI to create voices and audiobooks sounds awesome though. I don't like that people may lose their jobs. But using AI for this stuff seems like a natural progression. Having an audio book that shifts voices and tone easy but can also include sound effects and background noises would improve the audio. It would make these products better and likely cheaper. It would also give other creators a ton of ability to create their own stuff. Giving indie game developers tools to create games would be great.
Id love to have a tool to read books to me that can parse any book. Even something like a textbook. I learn much better by listening and no reader has been able to do that yet,but AI looks promising.
I don't mind different voices, but books with sound effects are hot trash. If I want to watch a movie, if watch a movie. Let my mind do the work.
Amen. If there are sound effects then I’m not interested. All of those audio presentations or whatever they are called sound so forced and over-acted.
