I definitely do not want to support this practice, but there's no way to filter these out 😠.

I agree on the technological advancement, but automating human creativity and emotion (yes, there's definitely a degree of creativity in voice acting) is a bridge too far for me. An AI-narrated audiobook automatically loses 3 stars on the review lol.

I totally get where you're coming from.

They'll likely get banned if the quality isn't good hopefully.
