I just subscribed to this block list, and I really appreciate the public service provided here
I started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠
Reminder of this casting call! Also tagging @audioafauditions.bsky.social
Goooood morning everyone — so excited to announce that the casting call for the second ANATHEMA story is now live! Auditions are open through August 9th, so get them in soon! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

An utterly worthless article about two utterly worthless studies The first study looks at AI audiobooks vs human narrators, is funded by an AI audiobook company and compares a single narrator vs AI generated multi-cast So the actual conclusion is that people might prefer multi-cast audiobooks
Listeners prefer AI voices, claim two studies: They don't like the idea, but after hearing an AI voice they are twice as likely to like it
