I love this idea. Unfortunately, I think it's just a slightly unnatural vocal performance. Even though AI can perfectly replicate voices tonally, they can't truly generate the same cadence and inflections, or sometimes even get close without a good deal of human assistance. I suspect this will change over time. As with ChatGPT, we'll be looking to AI to solve the problem of AI mimicking humans too well.

One thing is the pace is very, very consistent. Real humans don't usually maintain that level of consistency, they'll speed up, slow down, some words come out fast, some come out slow, etc.
