Except Caine isn’t doing the actual reading — an AI “voice replica’ is handling that chore.
AI Caine’s reading of Homer’s “The Odyssey” surfaced early this morning (Tuesday around 1 am). Obviously orchestrated by Chris Nolan, Caine being a Nolan loyalist for the last 20-odd years.
Boilerplate: “Nolan’s cinematic adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey traces the iconic story of Odysseus as he journeys home after the fall of Troy.
“Along the way, Odysseus faces shipwrecks, mythical creatures, vengeful gods, and impossible trials that test his courage, loyalty, and determination. From the Cyclops and the Sirens to the island of Calypso, each step of the journey brings him closer to home while threatening to keep him away forever.
“First composed nearly 3,000 years ago, ‘The Odyssey’ remains one of the most enduring stories in world literature and continues to inspire readers, writers, and storytellers around the world.
“‘The Odyssey’ is an original audiobook by ElevenProductions. It brings the story to life in the official AI voice replica of Sir Michael Caine with a full cast performance of character voices, original music, and sound effects, all created using ElevenLabs AI audio models.
“‘The Odyssey’ is available for free today, exclusively on ElevenReader.”
