GoKawiilFactory AI engineer says he trained AI voice clone to read bedtime stories to newborn
Alvin Sng, a software engineer at startup Factory AI, posted on X that rather than reading a book aloud to his newborn himself, he offered to play an audiobook, then proposed training a voice model of himself to narrate it. He captioned the exchange 'Parenting hits different when you work in AI'; the post has since been deleted. The anecdote follows earlier comments from OpenAI's Sam Altman about using ChatGPT and AI-generated podcasts in place of everyday parent-child conversation.
