    So let’s hear it. Hand an AI Leviathan Wakes, the first book of The Expanse, and see how it does. My money is on it being garbage, but let’s hear it.

    Jefferson Mays is tough to beat as a human.

    Worse, hand an AI a Terry Pratchett book, see how that goes.

        Audiobook narrators don’t “read”. They act. They vocally act the entire book. The ones who don’t generally get returned, unread, to either your audiobook platform choice or the library.

        Voice actors in games also don’t just read. They act. They vocally act their entire role.

        Jennifer Hale vs AI, who would win? Would any human other than Kate Mulgrew as Flemeth have made the character as compelling?

      Hand the AI Twilight books. It’ll either delete itself or make them better?
