I like my own voice too. I would never hire out for that.

Maybe I'll hire some folks on fiver to record themselves reading for me though! :)
I dunno man, I'm just coming to terms with it.

@williambanks plz check my latest post and see how transformative some bots are. They are truly empowering.

Now, for a moment think that someone profited handsomely. Should this be a problem at all ?

[williambanks]

That was really cool!
Yeah I'm not seeing a problem except the content wasn't bot generated and stellabelle was trying to call someone else a bot too.

Great post @williambanks.
Perhaps there's still hope for your eyes to recover. Found this at allaboutvision.com

Two large, five-year clinical trials — the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS; 2001) and a follow-up study called AREDS2 (2013) — have shown nutritional supplements containing antioxidant vitamins and multivitamins that also contain lutein and zeaxanthin can reduce the risk of dry AMD progressing to sight-threatening wet AMD.

Thank you for bringing that to my attention. Couldn't hurt to give that a try!
I really appreciate it!

I would have to do that for any translations. The one time I did that with a graduate student, though, it was painful. Her English, although far far superior to my zero-level Arabic, wasn't far enough along to deal with the large amount of slang and idiom in my writing at the time.
