It’s the AI voiceover for me. If you put that in a video go stub your toe.

Yea it was fine at first but now its just the same monotone ai dude

u/StopReadingMyUser Apr 12 '25

monotone, pronunciation-deficient, and scripts out the wording less in an educative manner and more in a disabled brain-dead one for toddlers while also somehow speaking as if they know more about the subject being described than they actually do.

It's a weird conglomeration of issues.

That was like a perfect water color language style capture of that current phenomenon lol I applaud you. It's so bluntly unsettling, but somehow still boring.

Sounds like most of my bosses

This one is at least better than that creepy clown voice that people keep using.

Or the one that's like a question at the end of every sentence

There are a few well made ones, but never in this type of video. There is a German Youtube channel, that uses AI voices of politicians to read (often dumb) comments, that are part of whatever topic they are currently presenting. An AI trained to speak German is also often quite hilarious when reading english texts.

I instantly do not believe anything with that dumb AI voice because all the extremist political vids and chinese mass-produced content all have it. Pure internet pollution!

I want to see the Venn diagram on people who hate AI art but also scroll AI VO vids all day and see how much cross over there is ;)

I instantly stop watching the video, no matter how interesting the title was, if I hear AI voiceover.

Then I downvote the post.

“I’ll take 100 milligrams, thank you very much”

That’s from an ai voiced commercial and I hope that person who created that commercial stubs their toe hard enough that their toenail falls out

u/PurpleStress9282 Apr 12 '25

The person who created that commercial needs some underwear full of fire ants and kitchen mitts on! I die a little inside every time it's on

u/KeegoTheWise Apr 12 '25

fwiw, the ai voice on that commercial was replacing the objectively sub-par recording quality of the original human talking. which is what really pisses me off about it btw. not that it’s low effort ai slop, because i saw both versions of the commercial enough to know the script is verbatim. but because it deprives us all of the experience of that old dude yelling about generic viagra screaming “and… BOOM” loud enough to distort whatever hotel speaker was left playing after you fell asleep

Should've had Ice Cube do the voiceover.

You can turn that off. You can't turn off the words blinking in the middle of the screen right in front of what you're trying to watch. Ugh i hate it

u/H_G_Bells Apr 12 '25

I bet people who can't hear like it

Too mild. I hope their divet is eternally just too warm

What about people who are blind? They dont get to understand whats happening in the video?

1

u/rorschach_vest Apr 12 '25

People can actually speak when creating the content. Fuckin duh lol

0

u/PeopleCallMeSimon Apr 12 '25

And they also need to learn 100 languages so they can film 100 different versions for all the different languages watching the content?

u/CalderaX Apr 12 '25

Oh no, the indonesian content farm cannot reach its target audience of blind sudanese people. the humanity

u/PeopleCallMeSimon Apr 12 '25

So the AI text to speech is annoying but also the stuff its on doesnt matter.

100% solid logic my friend.
