This is just completely delusional. This whole forum is basically delusional at this point.


I just converted a 110 page book to wav in about an hour with a RTX 4060.

I didn't have the newlines enabled though so it was pretty useless.

Enabling makes this pretty awesome.

af_heart is a great voice to me while af_jessica I find annoying. That is the main issue I have with audiobooks , the randomness of liking the voice actor or not almost matters as much as what the book says for me.

I knew this day was coming soon and I really am blown away. I have got so use to audiobooks that it is hard to actually sit and read a full book for me. I have about 20 books to convert that would never have a market to bother having someone read the book and in a voice I really like. Incredible.


It also could be like the Turing test.

There was no grand announcement of passing the Turing test or not. Instead the whole idea has faded in importance.

As the models get better, it wouldn't be shocking to me we get to a point that no one cares if the models are considered "AGI" or not.

We will be chasing some new vaguely defined concept.
