AI can’t replicate human labor, but it sure can approximate it at 1/10th the quality for 1/1000th the price.

    Yeah but those are funny for a TikTok video. I really doubt people are going to want to listen to them for ten hours for an audiobook. Personally, I think there is a good chance this fails because it is premature.

      oh yes, absolutely going to be a degraded listening experience. people will probably buy fewer audiobooks. question is, will the sales impact be greater than the savings from automation? and when people realize there's nowhere to go, will the sales come back?

      Actually it'd probably be fine.

      In an ideal world this would mean all the little books would have at least some kind of audiobook available and that would be worth celebrating
