Death of the narrator? Apple unveils suite of AI-voiced audiobooks | Apple | The Guardian - https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jan/04/apple-artificial-intelligence-ai-audiobooksApple has quietly launched a catalogue of books narrated by artificial intelligence in a move that may mark the beginning of the end for human narrators. The strategy marks an attempt to upend the lucrative and fast-growing audiobook market – but it also promises to intensify scrutiny over allegations of Apple’s anti-competitive behaviour.

@twitnews Interesting titbit: "Primary category must be romance or fiction (literary, historical, and women’s fiction are eligible; mysteries and thrillers, and science fiction and fantasy are not currently supported)."

@twitnews I'll call this progress if it means I don't have to endure the mental speedbump of hearing "casual domain" instead of "causal domain".
