Chat-GPT and StableDiffusion aren't perfect. They still produce weird responses or visual artifacts sometimes. But, it can be easy to move past these idiosyncrasies.

I think the brain is just more sensitive to speech, because inflection and tone is a key part of communication. So even subtle artifacts in the generated voice are really obvious and annoying.

Plus, as another commenter mentioned, books are long. An issue in 1 out of 10,000 words will be enough to break emersion.

I don't find it easy to look past their idiosyncrasies at all although they can produce impressive results with fiddling and luck.

Listening to these samples, they're still robotic sounding to me just listening for 10 seconds. I can't imagine wanting to listen to a whole book like this given the option of listening to an even modestly-competent voice actor.
