Hm, as much as I agree that not everything AI is thrown at turns out to be good (especially not if there are financial incentives as is the case with the film industry), I cannot help but notice that this piece reads too much like the standard, run-of-the-mill cultural pessimism. Having the Odyssee read as an audiobook by an AI-version of Michael Cain's voice may or may not be a good idea (my personal opinion falls into the latter category), but I fail to see how this spells an affront to the most human of human stories with an unbroken chain of retales since it's inception. At face value, it is no more and no less than a modern retelling of the story with the most advanced tools at our disposal (which, again, does not automatically make it a good modern rendition).

Unfortunately, most money with least effort has always been everyone's goal ahaha. AI just exacerbates this problem.
