Why isn't everyone talking about AI generated audiobooks? (reddthat.com)

I just listened to this AI generated audiobook and if it didn't say it was AI, I'd have thought it was human-made. It has different voices, dramatization, sound effects... The last I'd heard about this tech was a post saying Stephen Fry's voice was stolen and replicated by AI. But since then, nothing, even though it's clearly advanced incredibly fast. You'd expect more buzz for something that went from detectable as AI to indistinguishable from humans so quickly. How is it that no one is talking about AI generated audiobooks and their rapid improvement? This seems like a huge deal to me.

There are also a few AI sung songs out there that are pretty good. Most of them sound pretty Autotuny, but to some extent, that can be a style. Aura, by Ghost, is a good example. If I didn't know it was ai, I would just think it was autotune.

Because it's not a new product.

It sounds like a generative model to me, but it's probably the best one I've ever heard. Also, thanks for the link! I added it to my listen list!

This is amazing. I'm the future, I''d like to try this on old books I've read in the past just to check
