My browser eats timestamps, til. And yes, that is impressive.

Thanks, I’ll listen into it.

This is far worse than being not a reliable source of info. Ms Chen had all the info she needed, and Claude falsified it.

Hm. I wasn’t able to listen to all 9:53:57, but in the samples I watched I heard a voice resembling the classical computer voice of Science Fiction movies of the 70s. Better than most YouTube AI generated audio content, but good enough to narrate audio books? Well, we’ll accustom to anything, I guess.

To rephrase my question: where can I listen to an example of good AI spoken content?

Reading is not an alternative to listening. Both have different use cases. You cannot read while driving, to name just one.

Using different voices to read different parts of a book turns an audiobook into a bad audio play, and arguably, a bad audio play is worse than a mediocre audio book.

What audible misses is, that, while reading is a technique that can be automated, narrating is an art. They can use AI to read books, they cannot use AI to narrate books.

Your example of AI use is a good example of this: AI can read your content. AI can enhance your capabilities. But only you can narrate it.

Did you ever heard a single AI-narrated content that did not make you run away screaming?
