AI narration is getting pretty good...

(Anonymous) 2024-07-20 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
But I heard two funny slip-ups when the narrator of a YT video said "one thousand one thousand" instead of "one million".

Then on another video the AI narrator got tripped up over the unusual spelling of a name: "Meighan". It was pronounced a dozen different ways and it was HILARIOUS.

MEE-gun, MAY-gun, MY-gun, May-KHAN, Mee-GAN, May-GAN, My-GAN, Meeg-HAND, etc. Different one each time it came up.

Scary Bear Attacks still has the "Share us on your Social. Media." gaffe, every episode.

The funniest AI mispronunciation I've ever heard is reading 'Robin' as 'Robe in'. (And, yes, definitely AI, not just a weird misreading by a real person...this wasn't one of the ones that can get the delivery almost sounding natural.)

Yeah, some of the AI stuff sounds more like a natural human speaking, and others... aren't.

CoffeehouseCrime makes frequent mispronunciations, and it's so jarring, but his stuff is 100% not AI. I'm guilty of it too actually; I think it's a lifetime of reading more than listening to media, and you pronounce them in your head for so long one way, that even when you get told it's wrong, it's very hard to change.

In regards to other channels, they're not using the couple of default AI voices, I've got no hope of noticing them. I don't know how anyone manages to notice things like that.

Yeah, but saying "nine hundred and eleven" instead of "911" isn't just your basic mispronunciation, though. It's a giveaway because very few people would say the emergency number like that, it feels like a computer reading it off mechanically.

I wish AI would either die off quickly or at least be so heavily regulated that it's not fooling anyone.

Text to speech has been around for ages before AI and not all TTS channels are using AI. (Nearly all of them ARE plagiarizing from Reddit or Buzzfeed, though, so it's a moot point.)

It's not pleasant to listen to (at least, not for me), but I think it might be useful for mute people or for foreigners who don't have a good grasp of the pronunciation.

Or non-speaking people in general.
