Jake Peterson writes: “I don’t think artificial intelligence (AI) voice generation is inherently bad. But in my humble opinion, art isn’t usually a proper use case for AI voices. If I choose to listen to an audiobook, I am almost assuredly looking for an experience. I want a narrator with a talent for dramatic reading, someone who will be able to voice all the different characters, tap into inflections and emotions, and sell me on the story I’m listening to. Luckily, it’s not hard to identify AI narration on Libby—assuming the publisher has labeled its books properly.”
