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

    Yeah, I don’t think I would like them at all. I had the audiobooks for a whole series by one author, and they were all read by the same narrator except the latest book. I couldn’t handle it; it was a real person, not AI, but they were just terrible (but still better than an AI-generated voice).

    Did it do distinct voices for the characters? I could maybe see biographies being tolerable read my a machine (though ironic), but books with multiple characters interacting would be a mess. That’s one of the things I appreciate about John Lee (who narrated almost that entire series). He even used the same voices for the same characters across books.

      I don’t know about distinct voices. The sample didn’t cover dialogue. It’s possible with AI, but I wouldn’t expect it from low-effort AI-generation.
