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 *

You are not in my opinion the world's current economic system are not going to work when most labor is done by AI owned by capital owners. The other thing that is coming practically free energy to run those AI because of solar and batteries. Lcoe cost of solar and battery system in China is already now less than $0.05-.0.06/kWh when they take the equipment life as 10 years actually life if more 20+ years.
