Sitting here wasting time browsing on MN it just occurred to me that if there was the option for AI to read threads out to me I could be doing something more useful or necessary 😁

please tell me this doesn’t exist as it feels a bit nightmarish

If you really wanted to, there have been various 'text to voice' software for years. More commonly used by the visually impaired, but it needn't be exclusive.

You need a Libby account and then you can get audiobooks from the library instead.

Yeah, my iPad has AI email summaries at the top of them now which pisses me off. I can probably turn it off somewhere but it’s the assumption you want this shit and then have to root around to dismember it that’s even more annoying.

Just use Screenreader!

Aren't these the same programs that a lot of blind and visually impaired users have reported as being of little use with MN, as without an adblocker, the adverts are so domineering, the software only reads the ads and can't find the actual thread content?
