      @Connor Perrett AI can't come for the coders. They're the ones making it, and not just for other things. The goal is to have ai replace low level coding. It's annoying and repetitive, and I'd much rather have an ai write as much as it can for me.
      Especially considering a well made ai isn't gonna make the same silly mistakes. The idea of not having to look for the one statement I forgot a semicolon at is a godsend

If that's the case, is this technology publicly accessible? I ask because I'm a pretty big nerd about the A Song Of Ice And Fire books and can only imagine how awesome the audio books would be if each piece of dialogue was read by an AI voice of that character. Is it possible for someone like me with 0 knowledge of AI tech to make something like a multi character version of an audiobook happen with enough work? I'd put a lot of time into having something like that, it would be so immersive and literally hundreds of hours of entertainment each listen through.
