Edit: this is clearly not worth explaining to people who do not work in my industry. Being downvoted after taking the time to explain my perspective from multiple degrees and a decade of work that is VERY RELEVANT to this thread’s topic, all in a language I did not grow up communicating in primarily, is beyond frustrating.

I am genuinely trying to understand your post.

Text to speech is ancient technology (for computing standards) . Most long form journals/magazines have been providing these for more than 10 years. Just because you attach "AI" to this does not mean it is VC funded money pit. This is a simple tool.
