Reading began as an oral tradition, and now it's a billion-dollar industry.

      I’d assume if it were to happen it works have balanced by now since i text to speech is old compared to AI

        Ironically, this reply sounds like it was written by AI.

        I’m honestly struggling to make sense of what this says.

          I’m a real boy I swear

          But what what I was trying (and failing) to say is text to speech has been around longer than AI

          Idk I haven’t had my coffee yet

          “Works” should be “would” and “balanced” should be “happened”

          Auto correct and mobile keyboard I would imagine

      As terrible as that would be, it still isn’t as bad as some human narrators.
