TTS has been around forever now, and it still can't replace a human, because to inflect the same way as a human does you have to _understand_ the context of what is being said and what _was_ said previously. We're still quite far away from a TTS synthesizer having the ability to completely replace human voice actors.
- anigbrowl 4y agoTTS was completely ass for a long time. The current models are extremely good, adequate for things like reading news reports or dry prose. I specified that future iterations would probably allow direction cues, in addition to general improvements. We're still quite far away from a TTS synthesizer having the ability to completely replace human voice actors. That's why I specified 50% of voice actors losing 50% of their business, not complete replacement.
