Articoli su IA e lavoro professionale
Nel seguito, una serie di articoli in inglese che, pur non riguardando la traduzione letteraria, offrono spunti interessanti sul rapporto tra intelligenza artificiale e lavoro professionale.
Tra le altre cose, si parla dell’ennesima piattaforma che, attraverso l’uso dell’intelligenza artificiale, promette mirabilia ad autori indipendenti e piccoli editori, in questo caso mettendoli in grado di creare e vendere audiolibri in un batter d’occhio.
Un lettore/narratore professionista, tuttavia, esprime seri dubbi sull’efficacia dell’operazione.

“ElevenLabs has launched sales through its ElevenReader platform, offering authors and publishers a 60% royalty rate on net sales for AI-generated audiobooks, without exclusivity requirements.
The London-based voice-AI company’s consumer-facing distribution platform allows users to create audiobooks using AI and sell them directly to consumers. ElevenReader Publishing launched in January as a free platform where authors could publish AI-generated audiobooks, but without monetization options, as the books were offered for free. The ElevenReader platform, which is available as an app for Apple and Android, currently offers several thousand titles from independent authors and small publishers.
‘Our goal is to create a product that enables anyone, whether you’re an indie author or a publisher, to create an audiobook in minutes, and be able to monetize it.’ ”

“An AI tool can create a new sea shanty or a new sculpture or a new abstract shape. But what can it express through these? To express is to have something inside oneself that needs to come out. It pushes its way out: of your mouth, your diaphragm, your gesture, your rhythmic sway. Or you pull it out— because it resists translation, resists articulation. A generative AI model has nothing it needs to say, only an instruction to add some statistical noise to bend an existing pattern in a new direction.”
