It was a great overview of her life. The computer voice definitely has to learn more of the nuances of speech, but the mispronunciations were fun!😂

Virtual voice is AI

When it comes to the reading of novels, Virtual Voice is truly AI: Absolutely Infuriating and Also Inferior. The tech is ok for news stories where inflection and emotion are less important but it’s Amazingly Inappropriate for genres where the story relies on those qualities as well as accents and intonation that are still best provided by a real Homo sapiens.
