- In "The Traitor" by W. Somerset Maugham, the protagonist, Ashenden, is a British intelligence officer during World War I who is tasked with investigating an alleged traitor named Caypor. Caypor is an Englishman living in neutral Switzerland with his German wife and is suspected of passing information to the enemy. Ashenden befriends Caypor under a false identity....

I am an actress and I am truly dismayed that Ai is doing our jobs for us when we have worked hard to train, often struggle to make enough money to continue and do every other jobs, to have our livelihood removed and not done very well by AI. There is no real feel to this and the voice becomes robotic and flat in part. But I love Maugham's stories nevertheless.
I understand but these are real people who contributed and have had their voices augmented for scale. Also thousands of dollars are spent out of pocket for such. No one is used who didn’t consciously submit.
There is no way that this was AI! There is far too much expression and warnth in the voice.
AI is emotionless and doesn't have the flow of words that this Reader has. Pronunciation, punctuation and annunciation is read in the right places, and his English grammar perfect! ❤

I love how stark and simple Maugham’s endings are.
interesting story. I dislike the AI because of the weird stresses and sentence breaks but its a free book so we have to endure it.

Thank you very much for sharing 💙💙💙
It’s a shame that hardly anyone writes prose of this quality anymore
Maugham was amazing. So prolific.
Try Alan Furst.
Brilliantly shared.
Great stories. Just realised read by AI. German pronounced as, with a G for golf and Ally pronounced as in Alley! Lol
Thank you, I don't do AI, I believe in payment for humans.

That's why I found something strange at times. Lol

Yes, certainly AI but fairly good. It gets very ragged around the 26:34 mark. However it's ridiculous for people to complain about the non-payment of a human to read when they're getting a free service.
Love the graphics! Thanks
Thank you 🙏
A superb story.
There is no expression in this narration. Is it AI?
Yes
@@ibdalia69I can’t stand AI. 😡
@@paulaeppley3569 I now say that I am leaving becausr of AI.....apart fron nauseating delivery I believe a HUMAN (remember them) shoud have a paying job...otherwise we will all be reduntant .🤔😘
What are you talking about? There is heaps of expression!
IT IS NOT AI!!!

The narrator has the required flow of words that this person has.
His pronunciation, punctuation and annunciation is read in the right places, and his English accent and ENGLISH grammar is perfect! That is what makes it such an interesting story ❤
@@eshiestrik2756 So Cuckoo pronounced as Coo-coo, ally as alley and German as gerr-man? What kind of perfect English is that?
For all those stating that the narration is AI, without proof and maybe not listening all the way through, IT IS NOT AI!!!

As an English person, I assure you that no English person prounounces Ally as Ali.
Heaven knows why you're insisting it's a human voice when it's so obviously not (can't you hear all those glitches?). Nevertheless, we're all here listening so obviously the AI voice doesn't put us off.
Of course his grammar is perfect - he’s “reading” Somerset Maugham ‘s words QED ! The voice is expressionless and much pronunciation and intonation is totally wrong .
@@stevecharman8420 You’re absolutely right . Nowhere else can I find such a comprehensive collection of these stories so it’s Hobson’s Choice isn’t it ?
@eshiestrik2756 - Take the time to real the channel description. It explains the use of AI augmented human voices and that they pay $1000 a month to use it. It is pretty good nontheless, even if the intonation and metre is a bit duff on occasion. There are also giveaways such as pronouncing Basel "Bars-le", ally "Alley" and Cuckoo "Coo-coo". No reasonably-educated native English speaker would make those errors.
Loved the hitchcock film.thank you for this.
which hitchcock was this?
Secret agent starring John Gielgud and Peter lore.@@lauragranger9813
Delighted with the stories, curious about why AI. No starving actors about there?
Every voice here is a real person who has authorized their use via augmentation.

Who is the narrator please!
AI
If you liked it I hope your way of life is taken over by ai....with respect.

@@eshiestrik2756 it is AI
@@eshiestrik2756 Read the description, he tells you all about it!
Very greasy
Fantastic writing, and pretty good narration. W Somerset Maugham begat Graham Greene, and Graham Greene begat John le Carre.
To be perfectly frank, there's no one stepping up to fill the shoes left empty by the death of John le Carre.
Mick Herron writes entertaining books but lacks the storytelling ability of the young Frederick Forsythe or le Carre's examination of human motives
Tom Rob Smith was recommended to me so I read CHILD 44. Poorly written plagiarism (THE KILLER DEPARTMENT/CITIZEN X) with plot holes that infants could spot. Total gimmick.
It has been stated that not only Graham Greene (a great writer), Ian Fleming owes W. Somerset Maugham as well. Indeed R reminds me of M.
AI load of rubbish.
