Being an audiobooks lover, I love how Sheenam Maheshwari and Judy Chang, and their teams are making more audiobooks available with AI narration (AI-powered speaker generation) at Google. A listener can have certain preferences regarding the accent, pace, and overall style of the narration. Through AI, the criteria can be described (eg. "middle-aged Southern-accented female voice") and voila, the text is now narrated in that voice. I continue to be blown away every day with the applications of AI. The world has started to look so different already. #24WIP

Have you ever felt that listening to a story is a different experience than reading it? If you did, you were absolutely right! And no, it is not only true for audiobooks and podcasts – it is also true for consumer research. Read our latest blog to hear more about how MMR Research is harnessing the very latest voice capabilities to step even closer to the consumer experience of a life as lived and felt in the product moment, in the moment where a product transforms into an experience that leaves a lasting impact. https://lnkd.in/dthr9_Uu #marketresearch #chatbots #conversationalAI #voice #voiceresearch #productexperience #productinnovation #researchinnovation #innovation Nova Innovation | MMR Family Luisa Gibbons Alangkan Plangsastra Michael Hernandez Mera Alex Berteanu

AI voices are still very recognisably artificial. If someone does not hear it, it does not mean it isn't. It just is. Period. AI enthusiasts can tell you what ever. A stuffed dog with a chip in its head or body is still a stuffed dog with a chip in its head, even if we really want to imagine it to be real and even if it is very well constructed. Let's not let fool ourselves. Ai voice can be used many useful ways but not as substitution for real voice in creative formats like performance arts, audiobooks and similar. At least not yet.

Excited to be holding this book in my hands, hot off the press! Ethan Mollick's approach to AI as a co-worker, co-teacher, and coach is spot on. As more businesses begin to embrace AI, it's crucial to maintain a human-centered approach and focus on collaboration rather than replacement (at least for now). Although I typically listen to audiobooks, this is one I had to hold in my hands. Can't wait to dive in! Have you read it yet? #AI #humancentered #collaboration #artificialintelligence

Audiobooks need a human touch, with expressions and emotions to keep listeners interested 🎧. As we listen, we imagine the story in our minds, which helps our thoughts grow 🌱. I support using AI tools 🤖, but when it comes to creative work, AI can sometimes be too much! Good content connects with us because it reminds us of something, inspires us, or brings joy ✨. It will be interesting to see how AI-created audiobooks turn out and how long they'll last 🤔. In the end, we'll likely return to preferring things made by humans, not machines. 👩💻. These are definitely interesting times! #audiobooks #content #ai #aicontent #media #audible
