      It's pretty good. But when you look at the post itself (not necessarily this one, but others). The way it is written, there are different pauses, different inflections intended that the AI voice just doesn't get right.

      My other question, I write a lot of random short stories. Does anyone know how to get it transferred to video? I guess once its in an audio file I can use creative program, but how do I get the words to audio with an AI bot like this ones voice.

      Some are too busy demanding “reparations” from those who never owned slaves, whose parents and grandparents fought, and some dies to stop slavery in this country. But those who never were slaves, a few were records showed THEIR ANCESTORS DID OWN SLAVES. Still demand reparations.
      The slavery in America is mostly children, and for sex. But the Democrats refuse any attempt to stop it.

      You should have seen the US on September 11, 2001 when the trade towers fell, I was a teen when that happened. You missed out on the entire nation standing together for the one's who died that day and those who came to the survivors rescue, you also missed out when the country who did it was found. This is not just with the US, it is with most countries as well and if an outside threat were to appear outside of this world you can bet your last dollar on the fact that humanity will band together as one until it is done.

      Perhaps, but when you find where the threat comes from, you if you are a "real" American, you don't allow your politicians to tell you how to deal with war! You let the warriors determine the next outcome. And you don't let politicians drag you into a twenty year war, and then give it back to those that harmed your country! What should have been done was to empty the country that protected those that initiated the war against us of all life. Cowards don't fight, they passify. And that's exactly what Our country did. They showed that we are not willing to terminate an enemy, but are willing to offer them a tuna sandwich and a coke. Wrong by any sane standard! @@unitedstatian

      @illusionaury 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In most of mainstream media related to space travel or alien encounters, humans are pitiful and get stomped out and battered.
      We are technologically inferior and just barely pull through near the end due to the need for humans to win the day and the movie/tv show/video game/book to have something close to a happy ending. Almost always an underdog tale, at least up until recently I guess.
      This area of storytelling (the youtube videos) from what I have gathered basically asks the question, what if humans were not just slightly better than the aliens, but massively superior in some ways or others.
      an example would be that our gravity is near the maximum limit that a sentient and intelligent species could develop in.
      or that our adaptability is insane compared to other species throughout the galaxy.
      maybe our durability is virtually unheard of.
      Basically, getting away from the "humans are the underdogs and barely manage to win the day" trend that has existed for quite some time in storytelling and media.
