Voice Actors are on their way to joining buggy whip makers in the great afterlife of jobs murdered by new tech.
Movies are coming too, and SAG knows it. Looking forward to “new” Valentino and Bogart movies.

A new breed of audiobook is taking over digital bookshelves – ones narrated not by professional voice actors, but by artificial intelligence voices. It's an AI audiobook revolution that has been turbo-charged by Amazon. Since announcing a beta tool last year allowing self-published authors to generate AI "virtual voice" narrations for their ebooks, over 40,000 AI-narrated titles have flooded onto Audible, Amazon's audiobook platform. The eye-popping stat, revealed in a recent Bloomberg report, has many authors celebrating but is also raising red flags for human narrators.

Randy Travis is cool with this.

Do they sound like stupid robot voices?
One modern trend I hate with every fiber of my being is the stupid shorts that have an AI voice telling a joke. If I were King I would sentence the person who made that possible to "Death by Fleas".

Stuff like this is why the youth are becoming (economically at least) communist.
Unregulated AI will destroy 90% of professions

This is easy low hanging fruit for AI.
I really wonder how far we are from the game changing stuff like true full self driving and AGI.

The guy that does Jack Carr’s books is fantastic and does a tremendous job. His name is Ray Porter.
I dont know how the AI voice will sound, but I’ve listened to good readings and bad readings, and the person reading the text makes all the difference in the world.

In another year, AI will will be flooding Amazon with 40k newly written romance novels and the next year will be flooding the Hallmark Channel with 40k terrible Christmas movies. The future of most entertainment will get old. Maybe people will instead enjoy live performances again.

I actually noticed this. There is a clear distinction when a book is read by AI. It's matter-of-fact, no emotion reading. They should be legally required to state when a book is read by an AI.

Hopefully AI takes over the dubbed movies/series on Netflix. Some stories are interesting but the voice-overs are so bad I can't watch them usually.

Now they just need to AI Generat Movies based off of books. No more gay shite!

I use AI all the time. Our copywriters take too damn long and I can create usable content in seconds. Humans can edit it in much less time than it would have taken them to create it.

I'm all for this. It's difficult to find Audible audiobooks narrated with a pleasant, non-irrating/nasally voice.
Especially for non-fiction books, I dont need any fancy type of voice acting. Just a tone and pace that is easy to concentrate to.

Not me.
I think authenticity is going to show its worth in the face of this AI revolution.
