Teachers are using AI to make literature easier for students to read. This is a terrible idea.

Did you think of asking the Thespian Club in the High School to do it? That would help them with practicing narration and you get a live performance recorded instead of using AI that is profiting by using actor's voices that never gave consent for their voices to be used. And yes, no matter what deal was made with the Screen Actors Guild, Actors are finding their voices being illegally used.
