I’ve been mucking about with AI. Today I accomplished an implementation of Text to Speech on my own computer for no reason other than I wanted to. This is my synthesized voice reading “The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner” by Randel Jarrell.
The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner
From my mother’s sleep I fell into the State,
And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze.
Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life,
I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters.
When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.
