I thought TTS is ok, just not AI generated texts in this forum.
Anyway, if voices hook people, the dhammic practise is to look at the greed inside, not banning beautiful things outside. Unless one is a monastic.
Anyway, the Kannada TTS source is from Microsoft, I dunno how they generated it. From what I understand, most TTS tech is before this current era where AI passed the turing test and there was not issue with TTS at all, in this forum, I hope the rejection of chat bots does not get backdated to even TTS.
