I dont mind AI voice if it wasnt an indicator that the script was written by chatgpt. Some people are good at all the behind the camera stuff and I dont necessarily think they should have to find a voice actor for a video essay. I dunno how much data centre madness is involved in glorified text to speech, any amount is too much there. But I get the accessibility option of text to speech and get not wanting to sound like Stephen Hawking while using it.
Local offline voice models are pretty good, useful tools that will still work just fine after all the data centers are burnt to the ground.
The Elephant Graveyard special.
There's a ton of really good programming channels that use AI voice because they don't want people to be put off by their accents. Core Dumped is great and specifically put out videos explaining how they make/research their stuff and just use AI voice because they're from South America and have an accent that they feel would be hard for people to parse.
There's also a bunch that just pump out AI shorts with incorrect info so trying to separate the wheat from the chaff is a pain.
RETVRN to "Unregistered Hypercam 2" on the corner of a screen recording and communicating with the audience through dragging the note pad on and off screen for tech tutorials.
What really gets my goat is that people are intentionally putting chaff in my wheat! Cut it out!
