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.
That's too bad because I love South American accents. I get the reasoning but it's too bad they resort to AI instead.
I have a friend that wants to get into voice acting and I bet he'd get into doing real overdubs in English for a fairly low rate.
Do you think there would be a good market for people to read scripts in an American accent so that people with other accents don't have to use AI? I kinda think so because if I encounter a video with AI voice I turn it off immediately. If it's a non-American accent I will keep listening as long as I can understand it.
Overall I think it's better to be yourself when you make a video and not take those shortcuts but if someone has good quality research I'll put up with some amount of AI shit.
Physics by Eugene Khutoryansky is one of my favorites.
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!
