Perfectly sums up the AI evangelist problem at large: “I want to be seen and valued as a ‘creative’ person, but I don’t actually want to learn and practice a craft. This creates a resentment that must be resolved, but without me having to do the work.”

@keirburrows Free tools; Adobe Enhance is pretty good. Descript does but I found the interface a bit unintuitive. 11Labs have just released one, I haven’t tried it but the rest of their toolset is very good.
