Oh, I wasn't referring to published/commercial audiobooks created with AI (i.e., Audible's "Virtual Voice" or OverDrive's "Synthesized Voice"). I guess if the author has chosen an AI narrator and I really wanted to support the author (e.g., maybe they're a new or indie author and couldn't afford a human narrator), I guess I would listen to it.
But what I was referring to are books or documents that don't have an audiobook at all. In that case, the only way to listen to it is by using Text-to-Speech, and some of the AI-powered TTS apps are impressive, sounding almost human.
