#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.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
