Just had a video sent to me by a relative, the creator was very upset and decrying the decision of Audible to use AI in audiobooks.

I think it is a terrible idea, the flat unemotional tone of most AI would be horrible to listen to, not to mention the loss of favorite narrators on specific series would be an awful result.

Here is a link to the article referred to: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/may/13/audible-unveils-plans-to-use-ai-voices-to-narrate-audiobooks
