That was 2010, nearly 15 years ago. I had TTS on DOS & Windows before 1995 and wasn't much worse.
AI TTS may or may not be be using "AI".
But no, nothing so far comes close. It may not ever because a good narrator undestands the text. AI has no understanding.

What 3rd party TTS engine?
The modern stuff is IMO a lot better:
