Robert KingettOther audiobook readers, this happened to me on 3 different apps now so I wanted to alert others of this. As I usually do, I look up what new books my favorite narrators have narrated. Now, when I click on the narrator name, I am treated with audiobooks with their AI clone instead of their human narration. I already checked. That narrator is alive and still is recording audiobooks. Always listen to audiobooks before you make a purchase/borrow. Even now, it is incredibly obvious which ones are AI and which are narrated by the original human. This has happened to me on Hoopla, Libby, and on Audible so far. I know the audiobook narrator I looked up works for Recorded Books. It would not surprise me if they claim that they will never produce AI narrated audiobooks and then turn around and exploit their narrators without them knowing about it.I took the liberty of emailing the narrator about this. This was his reply.Robert,Thank you very much for alerting me about the clone of my voice. As a Black narrator, this deeply troubles me, especially since I did not make this clone nor did I authorize it's creation. I will be extra vigilant as to what publishers I work with in the future and will make my displeasure very clear. I cannot thank you enough for your advocacy and for alerting me. In a hostile world that's more than willing to embrace this technology, we desperately need more people such as yourself. Thank you again, my new friend!<a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Audible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Audible</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Libby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Libby</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/LibbyApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LibbyApp</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Audiobook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Audiobook</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Audiobooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Audiobooks</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Library" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Library</a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#libraries</a>

BPL has 174 people in line. Those aren’t Emily Henry numbers but they’re on the order of Christina Lauren numbers… and for a book that’s been out nearly four years!
