This feels like the equivalent of Amazon spammers creating dozens of junk books for sale in Amazon using chatgpt. The quality of these audiobooks is so poor.

- 2OEH8eoCRo0 3y agoThey're free and don't sound horrible, just not award winning. https://ia801602.us.archive.org/21/items/synapseml_gutenberg_paradise_lost_by_john_milton/paradise_lost_by_john_milton.mp3 https://ia801602.us.archive.org/21/items/synapseml_gutenberg...

- dwroberts 3y agoI think this is unlistenable - it seems to stay on upward intonation as if a question is being asked, for what must be entire paragraphs
- kromem 3y agoYeah, they are pretty bad. But if you had said they'd be this good by now just three years ago, I'd have considered you suffering from optimism to the point of delusion. The nice thing about AI's scalability is that in another 3 years they can run all these books through a better version of voice synthesis that's going to be quite better at inflection than what we have now. So while a middling win for those with accessibility issues who wanted to hear obscure out of print books due to the questionable quality over a long listen, this is just a step on a longer journey to a product that's much better.
