Just finished reading Neal Stephenson’s “Diamond Age,” which is kind of a sequel to “Snow Crash,” (both are great books, I recommend them).
In it, there’s a sophisticated kind of AI book that’s used to teach children, and the stories are read aloud. But, they don’t have the AI read the stories, specifically because the children can tell when it’s automated, and won’t listen, so they have to use voice actors specifically for it, that are kept on payroll (in a manner of speaking).
I used to think that AI could never replicate videos to a realistic degree but, uh, here we are. I wonder how long until it can read something aloud and pass as human.

I hate the way people just assume that technology gets infinitely better over time and there aren’t limitations on anything.
You’re basically doing the same thing people in the 1950s used to do when they assumed we’d be flying to work on jetpacks by now.
