I wrote about why AI, not matter how advanced, cannot replace sports announcers, and about what's missing in general from even the most impressive AI-generated audio:

POPEHAT SIGNAL: Remember Anthony D’Ambrosio, the douchebag who filed a class action because women mildly criticized him on Facebook? A defendant — a college student without funds but with an excellent defense — needs pro bono help. Case is in ND IL. Help kick his ass if you can.
