@ChrisPirillo I'm conflicted on audiobook narrator AI. On one hand, talented human narrators deserve to be paid for their work and they can produce a better result than AI. On the other hand, I really want an audiobook version of my novel, but can't afford what a narrator would cost. (And I don't have the free time - or the voice quality - to record it myself.)
@TechyDad I'm more conflicted by tools that allow you to mimic e.g. Leonardo DiCaprio's voice, or a specific influencer's voice. That seems to be crossing a line, where having some sort of voice mixer that doesn't emulate a specific person's voice would not be a problem for me. I would love to add audio to my self-published textbook to make it more accessible to students, but the content changes too often for me to have someone narrate it - I'd need to automate the audiobook generation and just set that to update on a specific interval for it to actually work. In my use case, I don't think I'd ever get around to having a human actually do the work, so I don't feel like I'm replacing anyone's job.
