I will Avoid Audio books with AI voices. I prefer the warmth of a human voice instead. A lot of my favorite Audiobooks are elevated by the interpretation of the professional actor. I am glad I have never even touched the Audible service, now I never will. I will also never consume anything written by a fucking AI.

    I wish I didn't have to go with audible, I am acutely aware that I don't really own the audiobooks and they could be taken off the platform at any time.

    I wish there was some other option but I don't know of any other audiobook providers. They have the industry locked down.
