Makes me wonder at what point in the past they went all-in on generated scripts.
(It's not all bad, if someone is still at the helm who actually cares. But overall quality declines.)

@geerlingguy I can't listen to AI voices. I struggle enough understanding the human voice. AI voices just lack any interest in the subject they're referring to. There's no inflection or interesting qwerks. It's an instant unsubscribe from me.

@geerlingguy I don’t know if it says anything other than luck-of-the-draw that this doesn’t seem to have happened to any of the channels I follow… yet

@geerlingguy if "AI" voice, then I stop watching the LLM generated video

Scripts would also mean good subtitles and therefore good translated subtitles. I might even appreciate the AI voice, when it otherwise would be a tough accent or rough audio.
When you say generated scripts, you mean AI generated?

@geerlingguy YT views and payout has also been cratering recently, hasn't it?
I can understand that creators look for ways to reduce operating costs to return to profitable status, but reducing the quality of their content might just further reduce viewer numbers.

On the other hand, a lot of people simply have horrible voices/vocal mannerisms. I'm guessing it's because many are not used to speaking on camera, but it's still really bad.
The recent Folding Ideas video has another YouTuber as a clip, and that guy is insufferable. Every sentence has the same modulation and he pitches like three octaves above his normal voice at the end of each one.

@geerlingguy is there an example, I wonder if it is in my bubble too. I haven’t faced it yet, or so I think…
Why would creator do that? To skip recording narration? -

@geerlingguy This was a good look behind the scenes for non-creators. https://youtu.be/Cd5EHfRerGI?si=zLMjkxjlAa2vbb14
