AI read the Book of Mormon to me

I use Microsoft CoPilot a lot. It is a great tool. I asked it to read to me from the Book of Mormon. It read exactly the chapters I asked for in an excellent manner. The next day CoPilot refused to read it to me on the grounds of safety. On digging deeper I found it risks legal action when reading copyrighted material.

Will someone contact Microsoft and provide legal authorization for their AI to read the book?

Earlier editions of the Book of Mormon (like the original) are now public domain, perhaps the AI would be willing to read that edition if you could do so.

This AI voice used in the reading of the Book of Mormon is unbelievably annoying. It sounds so fake and is mispronouncing the words and names of the characters. Not a spiritual uplift in the least. Please use Real voices for this practice.

Non-AI voices are available for Book of Mormon narration. Various Forum threads cover different aspects of how to access different voices, for example here
