Man, that pendulum swing from “the uncarrier” to full blown horrible large corporation. That merger with Sprint sure has made things better for customers, right?

Ah, I see what you’re saying, I misunderstood and thought you were taking about picking a different book. Indeed, for the worst case scenario a mediocre AI voice could be an improvement!
You seem to be implying that’s ridiculous, but it is indeed exactly like that, though it’s not like I’m expecting every performance to be a masterpiece.
It’s also pretty subjective, for example folks either seem to love or hate R. C. Bray. My mother can’t stand the guy’s style, I think he’s okay.
For now at least I bet this’ll be pretty mediocre. I’m a big audiobook fan and voice actors have a massive impact on the quality of the finished product. A great voice actor can make a mediocre book fun and engaging, a bad one can make a great book unlistenable. The best do great voice differentiation. As an example I’ve really enjoyed Andrea Parsneau’s work in The Wandering Inn series.
As someone who had a two month old in the PICU for a few days with RSV, this is great to hear. I wish it’d come a few years sooner for us. The little guy is fine now but it was terrifying at the time.
Thought exactly this when I read the headline.
It’s cool though because it was done by AI and therefore isn’t political or punitive.
For real though it’s gonna be great when AI hallucinations start hitting regulations and legislation and we end up with bizarre and nonsensical things in the text that no one bothered to fully read (cause we fired the people that’d actually do that).
All I can think of is this scene from the Rejected cartoon.
What are the odds that fsd recognizes musks face and prioritizes his survival over yours? Swerve right into that nearby tree!
Reminds me of xitter changing its algorithm to boost musk’s tweets when he took over.
