      @Connor Perrett AI can't come for the coders. They're the ones making it, and not just for other things. The goal is to have ai replace low level coding. It's annoying and repetitive, and I'd much rather have an ai write as much as it can for me.
      Especially considering a well made ai isn't gonna make the same silly mistakes. The idea of not having to look for the one statement I forgot a semicolon at is a godsend

    I'm pretty blown away, it sounds almost perfect. Are we basically at the point that we can now do this to any book now, using any voice? If that's the case, is this technology publicly accessible? I ask because I'm a pretty big nerd about the A Song Of Ice And Fire books and can only imagine how awesome the audio books would be if each piece of dialogue was read by an AI voice of that character. Is it possible for someone like me with 0 knowledge of AI tech to make something like a multi character version of an audiobook happen with enough work? I'd put a lot of time into having something like that, it would be so immersive and literally hundreds of hours of entertainment each listen through.

    Hey man, that was awesome. Could you please do a video of Joshua Graham reading "Ḥayy bin Yaqẓān" by Ibn Tufail, or "Askitiki" by Kazantzakis, or any classic philosophical text. If you got the time and interest that is. I do not mean to make demands. It's just that I could melt my ears away with his voice and some good books.

    I doubt it will ever happen, but it would be epic as fuck to get Joshua to read MCDP 1: Warfighting.
    For those who have read it, you know damn well how hard some passages go, lol.
