Even Audiobooks Aren’t Safe From AI Slop

Audible, one of the largest auditory kitchen platforms in the world, opens the flood gates to AI Slop.

On Tuesday, the Amazon -owned service Declare The new “artificial intelligence technology” that will allow the chosen publishers to quickly exit the audio books using a wide range of sounds created from artificial intelligence.

It is the biggest battle in Audible in artificial intelligence so far, and it will be a major blow to vocal actors, who fight teeth and nails to win protection against technology, especially in the American video game industry, where they are It is still in the strike.

Stephen Briggs, a voice on a well -known artist Brock on the works of Terry Brathett, said, Guardian.

In this announcement, Audible boasts that books publishers can choose from more than 100 votes created by AI in English, Spanish, French and Italian, multiple dialects and accent options. As an additional incentive, it provides better ownership rights to authors who use AUBLE’s AI to create an exclusive book of the platform, Bloomberg I mentioned.

Audible also plans to launch an experimental version of the artificial intelligence translation feature later in 2025, and it is either presented to read a manuscript human narrator or use AI to translate the performance of the current audio narrator into another language.

Audible says it works to support translations from the English language to Spanish, French, Italian, German and publishers, if they choose, they can review translations through a professional linguist that Audible rented.

“Audible believes that artificial intelligence represents an important opportunity to expand the availability of audio books with the vision of customer providing every book in every language, as well as our continuous investments in the original original content,” said CEO Bob Carigge. In a statement, “Ensure that listeners around the world can reach unusual books that may never reach their ears.”

It is a horrific advertisement, but writing was on the wall for a while now. Last September, Amazon began a experimental program that allows Audiobook narrators to create a cloning of Amnesty International for their voice. In 2023, Amazon launched the “Virtual Voice” feature that was created from artificial intelligence that could transform the author’s self -published addresses into audio books. Today, more than 60,000 of these addresses are listed by the default Audible voice, according to Bloomberg.

Audible argues that using artificial intelligence, it expands his fans and destroys language barriers. But the kitchen, authors and translators do not buy that the company has completely good intentions. As always, it will be the human designs that will get a short end of the stick – all in the service of creating a lower product.

“Nobody pretends to use artificial intelligence for translation, audio books, or even writing books because they are better; the only excuse is that they are cheaper.” Guardian. “This is only true if you ignore the extensive treatment force until the simplest request of artificial intelligence requires this. In the search for cheap simulation of a real man, we are ready to burn the planet and call it its progress.”

“Art – which is art – it is an art – a good audio book is patience in a moment of unexpected emotion, disbelief, or disbelief that narrated more than four hundred hearing on an audio,. “Regardless of how” man “appears to AI’s voice, it is these small complications that convert a good book into an excellent book. AI cannot repeat it.”
