Yes, I have. And I don’t want to choose every detail of a performance no matter how simple.
I want to hear a performance independent of my own experience. I want to hear something that I didn’t know I wanted.
AI can only show you an elaborate mixture of the data it was trained on and a set of instructions. It cannot make decisions, iterate on experiences, or have creatively beneficial mistakes like a human does.
Considering how good the technology is now and how it will continue to improve, I think we’ll soon have a hard time telling the difference. I can’t see the value in having a human spend hours reading and recording and editing when a program will be able to do it almost instantly in the near future.
You’re looking at an audiobook as if it’s only a method of distributing the contents of a book, but a human conveying a story is a performance. Those performances have artistic merit. Sometimes more, sometimes less, different take aways for different listeners, however it’s an inherent symptom of a human being sharing something.
This is where it gets important to remember that Machine Learning isn’t actually AI. It cannot make decisions or have accidents outside of mistakes made by the developers. It is not intelligent, it is a computer program.

Fair point. I still think professional voice actors are an endangered species. The clock is ticking…
