Good Morning.
Today I was shocked (or maybe I shouldn't be) to see that @setiinstitute is including AI narration for its articles. I sent them an e-mail and I will not be giving money to them as long as they have AI narration.
I understand that hiring and having human narrators may be costly and it may take more time to record the narration. However, shoving AI into everything is not the answer.
I will NOT support an organization that uses AI narration. There is absolutely no excuse to using AI narration.

AI is not the answer to everything, and it is just taking away parts of our humanity.

Also, what I said on twitter:
Bullshit.

AI cannot act or emote, because it doesn't understand emotion.; you are saying "text-to-speech, but with ~nice voices~, is the same as an actor embodying the characters" and that is incredibly demeaning of everyone involved, from authors to voice actors, to readers.
