As with seemingly all AI these days - it seems to fail with prosody and simply speaks the very next word with zero regard to the nuance or cadence that author intended, or an understanding of any the words being spoken.
When AI achieves the ability to deliver some of Shakespeare’s greatest soliloquies or monologues, then I’ll pay attention.
Prosody is hard. No AI voice I've heard really nails voice generation with fully smooth and human-like cadence and quality, but they're gradually getting better. Airy voices sound a bit tinny and childish, but even so, they're better than many I've heard, including for the elusive "humanness" quality.
