Season 2, Ep. 83: Should we be concerned about AI-narrated audiobooks in the bookish world?
There’s no doubt AI is the hot buzz around town. Every week there’s a new AI service that allows you to do more using less of your time. Recently, AI has even entered the world of audiobooks. We discuss this and its potential ramifications in this week’s episode.
Highlights:
🎙 Will other audiobook services follow Apple’s move and create their own AI narrator program?
🎙 We seem to forget “Audiobooks are, and will always be, first and foremost an accessibility tool.”
🎙 It may be cost-effective for companies, but does that make it the right thing to do?
