Original Reddit post

Was looking for an audiobook on Spotify and found a podcast episode summary of one. This is the podcast - https://www.bookbytes.ai/podcasts/bookbytes

  • within a minute my brain was like “uh, AI generated voices?” They sound “realistic” but just, such generic voices and personalities saying ridiculously generic things. Realistic, but completely soulless. I’m not fully sure why it feels creepy…like, its not like when the Terminator tried to smile or laugh or whatever, lol. Its just…one thing to have real humans producing generic BS content. But at least a human or two had to waste their time, so they might second guess whether to do it. But just clicking a button and creating a highly mediocre podcast…its ick. I dunno. I can’t tell whether this is worse or not than Audible and their Virtual Voice narrated audiobooks. I guess its two kinds of poop. Ramble over. submitted by /u/idunnorn
