    If you are interested in Von Neumann, you really should read The MANIAC, by Benjamín Labatut.

    "The brilliant mathematician John von /Newman/. John von /Noyman/, a mathematician..."
    The time that it's mispronounced, it is also misspelled in the captions. Telltale sign of text-to-speech.

      Humans misspell words, too.

      @@StudyingMachine-yg4th True, but misspelling and mispronunciation at the same time is an unlikely coincidence.
      It's a huge improvement over the old Microsoft Sam voiceovers, so I don't mind the idea of TTS videos per se. There's just still the feeling of being misled; that may change over time as this becomes more common, but some kind of disclosure might help to reduce that feeling.
      I think that TTS has the potential to help a lot of people break into growing their channels, especially people who might have a disadvantage due to (for example) prejudice due to a speech impediment or a non-native accent. But no matter the situation, people will eventually feel like they're being tricked if there isn't a disclosure and they figure it out themselves.
