Are you saying that AI isn’t improving?
I just read someone that said they listened to an audio book that did do this.
No I’m saying that when we get a new game changing technology things don’t tend to become better produced, they become cheaper to produce cheaply and quality be damned
I think game changing tech is always better but we as consumers are complicit in allowing the erosion of the benefit because were complacent.
Look at podcasts as an example. It beat the shit out of any other media at the time. Just hobbiest and funny people making content. Content that didn’t have any producers making sure people stayed on script. No ads, ever to interrupt or make creators panic about topics. Then rogan started pushing pocket pussies and everybody said its cool because its only 2 mins and skippable. Years later its now multiple unskippable ads on a paid service where we pay to avoid ads.
The only time we could have stopped the current problem is when it wasn’t a problem. But we don’t have that foresight
So game changing tech is great, if we keep it on track. Don’t let it erode.
Years later its now multiple unskippable ads on a paid service where we pay to avoid ads.
You must be listening to different podcasts to me. Those “hobbiest” content creators are still there, and they tend to have decent microphones now and have learned how to create fairly high production value content. Yes, they have ads, but they’re short and skippable (or even at the end of the episode) and you want them to get paid for their work right? Otherwise they won’t do it.
Sure, shitty podcasts are also available. Just don’t subscribe to them.
The thing is a lot of audiobooks aren’t being produced at all right now, or aren’t being produced to an acceptable quality standard (not because the narrator is bad, but because they and they editor weren’t paid enough to get it right.
In this case, I think cheaper production would result in better audiobooks.
