please stop using AI narrators!

I love historical accounts but was very, very disappointed and distracted by the AI narrator whose inflection is off. the narrator could not distinguish between dates and number values. 1967-69 was ready as one thousand, nine hundred, sixty -seven , sixty -nine. also, towards the end of the book the narrator repeats words and phrases multiple times. it's so incredibly distracting that a listener looses the content of the story trying to process the mistakes.
