You can listen to this on youtube with pg's own voice which I find a pretty neat use of AI.

I mostly use Safari Listen feature, on my phone, to listen to it while walking. Pretty neat and doesn’t clutter my YouTube history.

It's not like I wanted to play it in the background. In this particular case, I rather watch the talk than reading the essay if it's available. It's just interesting to have this option now which wasn't possible before.

Why? What's neat? To hear his thoughts the way he would voice them? But you're only pretending to...

Because I enjoy his talks but he obviously didn't do a talk for every single essay.

Might be a voice that’s sampled of PG’s speech, but it won’t deliver it like PG himself.

Actually try it, it's pretty good. Especially when the alternative doesn't exist. And mind you, I am not pro-AI at all, it might not come off that way under this thread. Despite that I did appreciate whoever made it. File it under personal preference.

Why not just read it out loud himself and record it?

Then share the result on https://librivox.org and other platforms.
