Why would anyone want to watch AI generated content? What’s the point? I get using AI generation as a tool but if there’s no human intention behind it, just a pure algorithm, why even bother?
It’s not like you can learn from it (even if the topic is something you’ll never use like a 2 hour dissertation on heat pumps or a multi-video series on how an old pinball machine uses only relays to calculate scores).
Why yes, I am subscribed to Technology Connections, how could you tell?
Signals to me that maybe the creator isn’t comfortable with their voice or maybe they can’t speak or have a stutter, but they still have something to say.
Recognising the “AI voice” isn’t just the voice. It’s also the clearly “written by AI” circuitous script that keeps talking without saying anything and non-stop clickbait “but wait until you find out what the answer is” crap.
The other type of AI voice is people just stealing Reddit stories and putting them to AI. Also lame. I want my stories narrated with human emotion. The point of stories isn’t to transfer knowledge, it’s an art form, I don’t need shitty robot emotions thank you very much.
So no, the use case for AI voice is very narrow. Some of my favorite YouTubers use text narration. Maybe they don’t like their voice, or speak a different language, I don’t know, I’ve literally never heard them. It doesn’t stop them in the least from showing me amazing things. They don’t need to resort to polluting their video with the lowest garbage idea humans have created so far.
I’d like to see a video that is improved by the use of any AI.

Art is people making stuff, without the people… it’s just stuff.
Can still be very pretty though. I use it to set scenes and show characters for my dungeons and dragons campaign.

I love heat pumps I love heat pumps I love heat pumps
(I agree! I do love tech connections. Although I’d argue that knowing how heat pumps work can be quite beneficial ^^ at least in my case)
I subscribed to him as well. His Patreon is even better.
I’ve been meaning to add his patreon. I have too many as it is and need to call a bit, but I just feel guilty about it.
Sometimes I’ll watch a video and as soon as I realize the voice is AI generated, I stop watching
But why?
Like sure some of the voices are not great but the words being said are the thing I’m interested in and not the person / machine saying the words.
Each to their own and all that, I’m just curious as to why you just stop watching something you were seemingly enjoying.
If nobody bothered to make it why should anybody bother to watch it?

You already clicked. It doesn’t matter anymore.
Watch time is pretty important on YouTube afaik, initial clocks themselves don’t count for that much
There’s an example right in the article.
Historical events portrayed realistically is one.
Which is the second most scary thing AI can do.
The first is realistic portrayal of faked current events.
Although there is nothing realistic about it all. But it satisfies the expectations of someone who doesn’t know anything about history.
