    Sometimes I’ll watch a video and as soon as I realize the voice is AI generated, I stop watching

      But why?

      Like sure some of the voices are not great but the words being said are the thing I’m interested in and not the person / machine saying the words.

      Each to their own and all that, I’m just curious as to why you just stop watching something you were seemingly enjoying.

        Because it’s a sign to me that the content creator is willing to take shortcuts and be lazy. In which case I take the shortcut to being too lazy to watch their “content”.

          I like to approach things in life with positive intent, so seeing a video with an AI voice to me would make me assume that perhaps they don’t have a great voice or that they have a stammer so so an Ai voice allows them to still make content they want to.

          I find that life is a lot better if you assume the best in people rather than assume the worse. And I can tell you that since I’ve taken this approach I’m a much happier person and it’s extremely rare that I give positive intent to someone with bad intentions so worth it for less stress and worrying about things all the time.

          Do you think the same of channels that pay someone else to be the face of the channel or is it just Ai voices you have issue with?

        Watch time is pretty important on YouTube afaik, initial clocks themselves don’t count for that much
