Here's Chapter 15 in optional AI narration:

Background: For a bit of fun, I have been experimenting with AI voice narration and with Sam's permission I attempted to clone one of his characters voices. It's all a work-in-progress with some quirky glitches. Due to my current lack of skill the similarity to his voice is maybe 6/10 but its listenable and entertaining, so if you'd like to hear this chapter read aloud after you've read it yourself, and are willing to lower your expectations ;) feel free to give this experimental bonus a listen!

P.S. In this mp3 if you listen closely you get to hear your first small snippets of ai-tts-artifacts :)

What is TTS? And which voice is this based on?

TTS is Text To Speech and this one is based on ... lets see ... "lets just be friends" at about 25:33 in the Amiga dark castle video :)

Or the dad from Eaten by a Dragon?

Would it be possible to train it on the various voices from my burrito video?

I will grab Mr Moustache and Mr Monacles voices next but I ended up loving this one quote by the burrito and grabbed that first and ran Chapter 16 based on that. Its the clearest reading yet. I love it

Sure! let me find them. If you have a timestamp for either send it over but those are perfect ideas.
