Lol, there is no sweetening the deal. Every one of those is a lost job opportunity for an actual voice actor.

Except many books get read by the author or never get read at all so it opens new opportunities for people who wouldn't ever use audio books or books who never will get audio version now vision impaired people have the option to hear them.

How about opening up new opportunities for real (if unknown) voice actors to read these books for people?

There'd be a market for that, just like there's a market for handmade furniture.
