  • The real question is whether or not it is legal. Theoretically it is possible to do with current tech. If i was making such a tool, i would need access to the ebook then pass it through a llm model (possibly with a 7b open source one) to tag which characters are saying what. Once i have tagged dialogues then I could pass it through elevenlabs or other opensource tts and voila you have an audiobook with different voices.

    The real problem is that opensource tts aren’t as good and i imagine if you use paid versions, you will encounter legal issues or it might be too expensive. And can you sell your audio book? Legal troubles again.

    But if you just wanna do it while sailing the high seas, everything should be possible.






  • I kinda got lost in making that list (just aspergers things) and listed every model i knew.

    For a layperson, yeah self hosting isn’t as effective yet. But if someone who studies AI (like me), self hosting is a must. Some use cases are:

    Retrain on your own data (big market potential)

    Make your own bots with specific applications/use cases (like parse wikipedia before answering)

    Bypass censorship (funny story, my friend asked claude to summarize a book on dystopia and it kept telling her to talk about something else cuz dystopia’s were too depressing for claude)

    I’ve even heard about models that are specialized for just one task like chatting, or logic puzzles

    And lastly, privacy nerds like me


  • Okay as a broke ass student in a similar situation imma try to help you out before someone offers better advice.

    So you have these options: Definitely legal:

    1. self host local llama on colab.

    2. try hunggingface spaces, you can find a lot of models

    3. coehere.ai, a21, crebrium.ai (free trials/freemium)

    4. try poe.com (really awesome gpt3.5)

    5. perplexity.ai (good for researching articles)

    6. you.com (it has internet access like bing but generally more descriptive and useful than bing)

    7. bing ai (trys too hard to not hallucinate)

    8. claude2 on claude.ai (only available in us and uk so you might need vpn for account creation)

    Kinda legal (i think)

    1. gptforfree on github (its reversed engineered from other places)

    2. chimeragpt discord (gives you free openai api key, includes gpt4 and image generation etc)

    3. pocketgpt (based on chimeragpt, this is the closest to what you want. Gpt4 directly in your browser but sometimes it does not work so you might want to try again later)

    My piece of advice, use multiple tools since they all kinda have have different advantages. I mostly used gpt4 for smaller things and claude for larger (it has 100k context!)

    I have to look up url for pocketgpt, its kinda a small project so couldn’t find it on google. Meanwhile try this if it works https://chat.ylokh.xyz/
