That sounds like a great idea for a sleep aid: have an AI narrate random wikipedia pages. Maybe it could even allow you to specify topics you have no interest in so it doesn't accidentally pick a topic that might grab your interest.

#7Why does it play an artificial voice saying "Number 9" over and over in between clips in Revolution 9 mode? it's super annoying especially given the clips are shorter
But this is really cool! I've gotten some animal sounds, weather sounds, music, a small kid talking about a soccer match in Spanish, "evil laugh", political speeches in several languages, and a telephone ringing. only pressed skip a couple times for some really unpleasant noises

Using an "AI" (LLM) enhanced TTS adds in tone and other markers to let the underlying TTS sound much more natural. You can then double down with an ML tuned TTS to get a more natural voice.

It's a reference to the Beatles song Revolution Number 9 which includes a lot of clips like that. It does get old pretty quickly here.
