I support AI usage in a fairly broad sense, and I appreciate that using an AI voice to narrate these short stories fills a somewhat underrepresented segment of the genre. I'm not by any means an opponent of its use (again, broadly). This particular voice seems to have fewer issues with inflection than some I have heard (there are a few that randomly shout in the middle of the track, which is distracting and disorienting). Some of the time, I think the AI voice sounded quite good. That said, there were a couple points in this that I noticed would have been very easy to remove, given a quick plug into an audio editor like Audacity, such as points where the voice randomly repeated the last two words. I would suggest that-given that one of the main oppositions to using AI revolves around the idea that you, the artist, are being lazy-due time and consideration be given to ameliorate these errors. Audacity is easy to use for cleaning up sound, and it gets much easier the longer you use it. I'm sure you don't just click "generate" and sit back, but if you are going to use AI, I would encourage you to make it the best thing it can be.
Don't use AI for narration, its positively horrible in multiple ways, and just plain scummy. Scummy becuase it's only using other people's work, non-person's work, and you already use art for the vid that isnt your own either. Show some decency.
whutever dou mean? it's not like they're putting the EMphasis on the worng sylLABLE. 10/10 AI and people selling software agree, AI's the way of the future!
Being so judgemental, as you are, is scummy. Don't tell ppl what to do either, who are you to be ordering somebody around on their own channel, anyhow? All of these stories are 100+ yrs old and are in the public domain. The uploader isn't able to get the original authors, reading their own stories, since they've all been dead for several decades. For the future, don't _boss_ ppl around on their own channel, leave your opinion or suggestions. Telling them what to do and how to do it is the easiest way to get ignored. If you don't like the way the channel is, there are many more channels on here that don't. Just saying
Excellent, August Derleth yarn.
Keep the good work sir
May I suggest Derleth's series The Trail of Cthulu.
