Fully agree with this. I could understand TTS for quickly converting articles to audio (and of course for visually impaired ppl), but for books the current state of this tech doesn't interest me. The qualities I want from a good narrator aren't in these samples (correct emphasis within a sentence, variable pacing dependent on context). For fiction books, good narrators will change timbre and accents depending on who is speaking in the text, not clear if they tried to achieve this at all (could have potential to use a different digital voice entirely). I hope that the results from this type of production are clearly labeled as computer generated in the store. I don't think putting "AB Apple Books" is clear or sufficient, for someone that doesn't know about this tech "AB" sort of looks like a placeholder for some unnamed human.
