  This was me once a month but now it’s a few times a day.

    Really? I very rarely come across it, and I use YouTube a lot. But when I do come across it I select “don’t recommend channel again” and dislike the video.

  You already clicked. It doesn’t matter anymore.

    I’ve clicked, but I have an ad-blocker, so… YouTube gained nothing from that.

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

  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?

    If nobody bothered to make it why should anybody bother to watch it?

      Signals to me that maybe the creator isn’t comfortable with their voice or maybe they can’t speak or have a stutter, but they still have something to say.

        Recognising the “AI voice” isn’t just the voice. It’s also the clearly “written by AI” circuitous script that keeps talking without saying anything and non-stop clickbait “but wait until you find out what the answer is” crap.

        The other type of AI voice is people just stealing Reddit stories and putting them to AI. Also lame. I want my stories narrated with human emotion. The point of stories isn’t to transfer knowledge, it’s an art form, I don’t need shitty robot emotions thank you very much.

        So no, the use case for AI voice is very narrow. Some of my favorite YouTubers use text narration. Maybe they don’t like their voice, or speak a different language, I don’t know, I’ve literally never heard them. It doesn’t stop them in the least from showing me amazing things. They don’t need to resort to polluting their video with the lowest garbage idea humans have created so far.

        I’d like to see a video that is improved by the use of any AI.
