CTOnews.com February 15, Apple quietly launched a series of audiobooks broadcast by artificial intelligence in its Apple Books app in January this year. Apple later clarified that the online AI is only for creators, not for jobs.

Some publishers and professional dubbing actors don't think so, feeling that Apple's launch of AI audiobooks has seriously affected their sources of income. And Apple uses their voice samples to train AI.

"more and more book lovers are listening to audiobooks, but only a small number of books are converted to audio, making millions of books inaccessible," Apple said in its official supporting documents. many creators, especially part-time creators associated with independent creators and small publishers, are unable to create more audiobooks because of production cost and complexity.

Apple says AI audiobooks are only suitable for humans to broadcast uneconomical works, such as textbooks, low-circulation books, small publishers and self-published books.

According to the foreign technology media Wired, Findaway initiated many anchors in the joint industry to accuse Apple of collecting their broadcast samples to train artificial intelligence and eventually replace them in the future.
