I don't really think I could listen to an AI voice reading a book. Perhaps some technical stuff, but not fiction. Even the difference between a mediocre vs good voice actor is huge, and can mean the difference between finishing an audio book or stopping after a chapter. Edit: to be very specific, a really good voice actor will take on different voices depending on which character is speaking, and will act out scenes realistically. I honestly can't imagine any AI being able to do that.
