I don't do much TTS but is this better than the non-AI equivalent?

Maybe my ears are bad because I've listen to too much human made loud music, but it sounds more artificial than the default say command on OSX.

those samples sounded better than these ones from 2023 to me, but can we even know that apple is or isn't using AI for new versions of say?
