First thing that comes to my mind would be Dougdoug. He’s a streamer who messes around with AI a fair bit for funny content, including using AI-generated voices at times.
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.
I don’t know if my timestamp went through, but the part I linked to was at 7h/19m/42s. That’s the relevant part, not necessarily the entire video. That’s a showcase of good AI voices.
Did you ever heard a single AI-narrated content that did not make you run away screaming?

You think they’ll be narrating books with Tiktok TTS?
Some use even worse, if YouTube content is any indication.
But you think Audible would use those to narrate books?
I think an Amazon owned company would actually default to Alexa, who’s voice is equally terrible. Why pay more to develop a better voice?
To rephrase my question: where can I listen to an example of good AI spoken content?

My browser eats timestamps, til. And yes, that is impressive.
Thanks, I’ll listen into it.
