Unfollowed Audiobook Café by Accessible Media Inc. because they promoted AI narration for audiobooks. The host just interviewed an independent author that released a full cast audiobook using 11 labs. I couldn’t even make it past the introduction. The host kept making a claim that it cost money to produce audiobooks and human narrators are not cheap, so independent authors can’t afford human their Raiders, so this is the only way to go about it. I can’t express my other discussed. Frankly, if I can achieve human narrators, there is no excuse. It really isn’t that hard. The host justification was that, well, it’s not cheap to hire human audiobook narrators. I’m not going to promote the episode, you can go look for it, but every time I see blind or visually impaired people promote AI audiobooks, I just have to ask, why do you still listen to human narrated audiobooks because clearly you don’t want human narrated audiobooks any more? I legitimately do not understand. #AI #Audiobooks #Audiobook
