It's 2h of AI pics with text read by an AI voice, which you didn't watch all the way through, but still felt you needed to share anyway.
Thanks for warning before I clicked the video. Saved me the click.
Edit: wasn't AI after all. Just a cheap microphone.
Or it's low bit rate audio which is easier for AI to generate.
The voice is not AI, the video is quite good imo minus the slop pics.
I personally treat it as a feature movie length podcast without video. I don't like that the video uses AI slop pics, but since I'm not looking at them I still enjoy it greatly.
I was thinking about that as well, why the fuck does he sound like Patrick star.
yet none of that makes the criticism invalid
"AI bad" people around here are as insufferable as the sloppers
You have a valid point but the images are awful bro
This isn't about "AI bad".
This is about how incredibly rude it is to expect people to spend 2h on a video OP didn't even care about enough to watch it themselves, and the uploader didn't even care about enough to make it themselves.
ffs some people acting like they paid for the video
didn't like it? Don't watch it.
you're the one being rude here over some silly AI images that aren't even the center of the content in question.
The video appears to be manually voiced and manually scripted. I agree though that the AI slop images are annoying.
If you can't be bothered to put any effort into creating content, then why should people waste their time reading / watching it?
I watch things because they're good, not because they were hard to make. It's a good video, I couldn't care less they used AI images because they're there to support the content, not be the content.
I'm not even an AI-bad person and I can't stand AI videos. I'd rather watch a reaction video with a real person than this original.
it's likely a manually scripted video using a good AI voiceover and some AI images to support it.
This AI voice is better than a lot of human voiceover and the images are not the center of the video, so I couldn't care less.
Or the entire thing could be AI. Who can say? The video author's credibility has been destroyed by using AI at all. And so has yours for not recognizing the issue.
lol
Is there any source for the voice being AI? I'm pretty sure it's just a guy.
no evidence, it just sounded too consistent to me for a 2h video, but he speaks really well if that's his voice, much better than what I can do.
