Terrible production with broken audio

Sorry, but Too many distractions/skips in the virtual voice reading. What started off well seems to lead the listener into confusion and frustration trying to grasp the material presented. Would’ve enjoyed listening but sad that it was confusing to say the least. I guess a simple Human reading it would’ve made more sense.

Useless - Waste of Money

Worst audible. It’s a computer voice reading an outline notes that someone wrote. Useless content. I learned very little to nil. Computer voice sometime skips. It was painful to listen. It was a waste of money.

Horrible use of AI narration

This audible book is impossible to listen to, mostly due to the AI narration. The first clue was when it pronounced AI "eye". It went downhill from there. When reading what was supposed to be descriptions, broke down into rows and columns, the reader would read the text as if it were one long sentence, and there is a lot of that type of description. If anyone can keep up with what it is trying to convey, you are a better listener than I. I'm not sure if the material has anything good to relay to the listener, because I could not understand what it was trying to say. It may have been an OK book (I don't know), but it is a very hard listen in audiobook form.

Had to inject his DEI leanings. Ugh!

I wanted to learn about AI, not be indoctrinated on DEI ideology. It was subtle, but obvious.
