I assume this is targeted at things like the AI voiceovers reading random reddit stories or comments alongside generic video content, probably also AI generated.

I fucking hate those videos, I'm so bad at recognising them from thumbnail and title alone and always get irrationally angry whenever I stumble into starting to watch one.

My friend was just telling me about this recently. I've somehow completely avoided them so far.

You're lucky. It's so annoying. Especially when it feels like one someone actually worked on but didn't want to read themself. I don't care how much time you put into writing and editing if I have to hear it through a robot voice. I'd rather hear a shitty mic/thick accent, or whatever else is stopping them from just recording the lines.

I totally agree. That default robot voice on Instagram is one of the most grating things I've ever heard. It's total uncanny valley and I prefer the so-bad-its-funny older ones.

I never thought I'd miss Microsoft Sam.
