#writerscoffeeclub 5 Aug:If AI created a genuinely good story, would you read it?

This one is starting to have strong energy of "But what if I was the last man on Earth? Would you have sex with me then, huh?"

So, I'm not going to answer it.

A friend's offspring has written a story, and used a modern synthesizer to do a narrated version. I've been trying to get into it, and the synth sounds amazingly real in small sentence fragments, but listening to a longer bit, it's just not workable. I've run into this previously where someone used one of these things to narrate a YouTube video, and the different pronunciations of the same word leaped out, but this time it's an overwhelming sameness, even though a single sentence sounds animated.

I'd rather have an old style C64 synth, frankly, because I wouldn't be sloshing through that uncanny valley.
