There are definitely AI-narrated ebooks on the market right now. There is definitely an initial ick factor, but if you can make it through the first ten minutes you will acclimate to it. I actually don't think there is a technology constraint at play. Kindles can already TTS anything and good AI narration is just a step up from that. 'reading avatars' will surely appear, but for now the sellers benefit from audiobooks being a separate product category.
