Reading through this thread I can see people debating whether or not AI can do something better than humans (who aren't professional narrators at least) but shouldn't we be discussing whether it's a good idea developing a tool (AI) that could ultimately lead to people being put out of work? Do we really want to encourage industries to rely on a program (that's ultimately probably owned by a big tech company or one organisation) to do something humans can already do?
People get excited over what AI can do - gosh it sounds so realistic- well you could have the real thing, an audio book narrated by a (professional) human! Why re-invent the wheel?
Before long we will be getting products that have had no human input - an e-reader built in a factory by robots run by AI, your ebooks, written by AI, bought from a website run and maintained by AI, not a single human involved in the chain, fantastic!
Ok perhaps I'm being a bit facetious, but it certainly seems like that's the road we could be starting out on - to me at least *
* or perhaps Im just paranoid
