Ironically, this reply sounds like it was written by AI.

I’m honestly struggling to make sense of what this says.

I’m a real boy I swear

But what what I was trying (and failing) to say is text to speech has been around longer than AI

“Works” should be “would” and “balanced” should be “happened”

Auto correct and mobile keyboard I would imagine

I use tts quite often with my epubs. I wish there would be some advancement towards making the narration less robotic and more natural.

As terrible as that would be, it still isn’t as bad as some human narrators.
