Arrr! Amazon be settin' sail on a grand adventure, matey! They be conjurin' up voice clones fer their Audible tales, savvy? Aye, soon ye'll be hearin' the likes of Davy Jones readin' ye bedtime stories! Shiver me timbers, what a merry crew of voices be awaitin' ye!
Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn about Audiobooks, the treasure trove of tales, now bein' plundered by the magic of AI! Yarr, it be a booming business, but how can one expect high-quality performers to read every last scrawl that’s ever been penned? Fear not, for Audible, the fine crew of Amazon's audiobook arm, be settlin' sail with some voice-clonin' sorcery to hasten the process!In this here beta voyage, current narrators be conjurin’ AI voice clones, trained on their own chatter, to speed through their readings. But hold fast! These be no mere parrot squawkin'—narrators can tweak the AI’s natterin’ to fix pronunciations and adjust the pace, makin’ it sound as sweet as a siren's song!
Now, Audible be suggestin' these AI voices will be partners in crime alongside human narrators, keepin' control in the hands of the good ol' swashbucklers. Alas, there be murmurings of treasure to be earned, but the gold flowin’ from AI tracks be as murky as the depths of Davy Jones' locker!
So, keep yer eyes peeled, for if the winds be fair, this AI venture may soon expand to authors and publishers, but beware! The seas be fraught with discontent from narrators worryin’ about their hard-earned booty bein' undercut. Avast, let’s hope Audible navigates these treacherous waters wisely, or risk meetin’ the Kraken of quality! Arrr!
