I know the rules, I'm not supposed to talk about Fight Club...😜

BUT

Ladies and gentlemen, never say never! 🥊🤪

I swore I'd never rewatch or read the book ...and here I am! LOL. I couldn't get into the movie Fight Club, okay, more like I really really dislike it. I can watch violent thrillers but this one just wasn't for me. It's dark and weird. Talk about an unreliable narrator!

As part of my GR reading challenge for the state of Delaware, I picked Fight Club because I'm curious to try AI narrator "Edward Norton". I'm blown away by the technology and umm... performance. It's very cool and scary at the same time. I wouldn't know it wasn't him. 🤷‍♀�

This could've been a solid 4 stars if I hadn't known the big reveal. 3.5�

Rosh Oh my, AI narrators also? More scary than fascinating to me. If AI pops in everywhere, what the heck will actual humans do? :/

It is very scary. I can picture real narrators finding new lines of work. 🙈
