Why do you think it's a lie?

There are 70,000 audiobooks in the catalog, and people can listen to them. If audio is generated on-demand in the background, it does not make them "not-audiobooks", and it does not make my post a lie. "If it looks like a duck..."

It's just a technical implementation detail. And I'm not hiding it; I'm describing it in the post

It makes them "not generated" which means the "generated" part is a lie. Generally I've found Ukrainian software developers to be dishonest, but now I'm wondering if it's a cultural difference in understanding of what words mean.
The title says you generated 70k audiobooks.

You didn't.

That's a lie.

Most people don't like to be lied to.
