This is exactly the reason why I'm not open sourcing a tool I developed where you can take an audio book together with an epub to build an ljspeech dataset and train a voice model. Although it was not too hard to create I believe making it easier is something i don't like to achieve... I hate to say this but ruining a narrators existence with AI seems to get easier every day.

I do think that the floodgates are open now. AI is still absolutely terrible to mediocre at coding at best but for more trivial tasks like this it'll get indistinguishably good AND businesses are ready to sell before even beginning to think of the consequences.

  This. I'm still wondering why audio book giants like amazon/audible are not having license contracts with their narrators to do supportive narrating tasks by AI paying Them a fee for AI generating their voice. It probably would be win win... Regarding how easy it was to clone my favorite narrators voice with open source tools I'm a bit afraid of what amazon could do with a whole cloud and massive man power
