Dis-CONTENTED listener thanks to Audible cheapness

This proves AI sucks and should not be used to replace actors. This virtual voice did not know how to pronounce the word “content” and it was used constantly in the book!

It would pronounce “CON-Tent, the noun referring to the information in your messaging to your volunteers
as the verb “kənˈtent” as in contentment, as in one is happy, pleased or calm versus Content.

Occasionally it would get it right, most of the time the bot got it wrong, flipping back-and-forth like a bad actor with a bad accent in a cheap movie.

AI ruined the book, affected listening to The Content of the book, and left the listener DIs-Contented -not with the author, but with Audible. It’s a shame for the person who wrote it.
The worst part is no one checked or bothered to correct it.
Audible: Invest in human beings, not AI or machines.
