At the bottom of uncanny valley

If you want several minutes of links and other references being read out loud at the end of each, probably stolen, essay, this is the audiobook for you.

Setting aside ethics, the execution of this AI read book is just horrible. Double readings of the same text, weird skipping around, reading layout elements out loud, misunderstood words… I would not be surprised if I was the actual first human to hear this product.

The essays themselves were good, but I’m not sure I’d recommend you subjecting yourself to the bottom of the uncanny valley to get their content.

The robot-read poems are worthy of their own star role in a dystopian novel.
