A new audiobook of Homer's epic The Odyssey, read by an AI-generated Michael Caine, was released Tuesday, weeks ahead of Christopher Nolan's film adaptation.
The 13-hour recording features the voice of the 93-year-old British actor, along with a cast of other voices from ElevenLabs' library.
Michael Caine has given his approval for the narration, stating that the AI-generated version brings the timeless epic to life for modern audiences.
The use of AI in Hollywood is a topic of controversy, with actors and creators fearing being replaced by technology.
ElevenLabs claims that their offering is about enhancing audience experiences, combining full-cast performances, original music, and cinematic sound design.
The audiobook launch comes less than a month before the release of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, starring Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, and an all-star cast.
