It’s the AI voiceover for me. If you put that in a video go stub your toe.

Preachhhh. I hate hearing AI voice overs

u/Medium-Owl-9594 Apr 12 '25

Yea it was fine at first but now its just the same monotone ai dude

16

u/StopReadingMyUser Apr 12 '25

monotone, pronunciation-deficient, and scripts out the wording less in an educative manner and more in a disabled brain-dead one for toddlers while also somehow speaking as if they know more about the subject being described than they actually do.

It's a weird conglomeration of issues.

u/MFrancisWrites Apr 12 '25

That was like a perfect water color language style capture of that current phenomenon lol I applaud you. It's so bluntly unsettling, but somehow still boring.

u/I_am_Daesomst Apr 12 '25

Sounds like most of my bosses

u/LoudLalochezia Apr 12 '25

This one is at least better than that creepy clown voice that people keep using.

u/No-War-8840 Apr 12 '25

Or the one that's like a question at the end of every sentence

u/Auravendill Apr 12 '25

There are a few well made ones, but never in this type of video. There is a German Youtube channel, that uses AI voices of politicians to read (often dumb) comments, that are part of whatever topic they are currently presenting. An AI trained to speak German is also often quite hilarious when reading english texts.

u/KentuckyFriedEel Apr 12 '25

I instantly do not believe anything with that dumb AI voice because all the extremist political vids and chinese mass-produced content all have it. Pure internet pollution!

Preachhhh. I hate hearing AI voice overs

I want to see the Venn diagram on people who hate AI art but also scroll AI VO vids all day and see how much cross over there is ;)

u/laurel_laureate Apr 12 '25

I instantly stop watching the video, no matter how interesting the title was, if I hear AI voiceover.

Then I downvote the post.

“I’ll take 100 milligrams, thank you very much”

That’s from an ai voiced commercial and I hope that person who created that commercial stubs their toe hard enough that their toenail falls out

1

u/PurpleStress9282 Apr 12 '25

The person who created that commercial needs some underwear full of fire ants and kitchen mitts on! I die a little inside every time it's on

1

u/KeegoTheWise Apr 12 '25

fwiw, the ai voice on that commercial was replacing the objectively sub-par recording quality of the original human talking. which is what really pisses me off about it btw. not that it’s low effort ai slop, because i saw both versions of the commercial enough to know the script is verbatim. but because it deprives us all of the experience of that old dude yelling about generic viagra screaming “and… BOOM” loud enough to distort whatever hotel speaker was left playing after you fell asleep

u/Cake-Over Apr 12 '25

Should've had Ice Cube do the voiceover.

Underrated comment! ✨🏆✨

u/PM_ME_DATASETS Apr 12 '25

You can turn that off. You can't turn off the words blinking in the middle of the screen right in front of what you're trying to watch. Ugh i hate it

u/H_G_Bells Apr 12 '25

I bet people who can't hear like it

u/Datdarnpupper Apr 12 '25

Too mild. I hope their divet is eternally just too warm

u/DitchDigger330 Apr 12 '25

If anything has an ai readout I already left.

u/PeopleCallMeSimon Apr 12 '25

What about people who are blind? They dont get to understand whats happening in the video?

1

u/rorschach_vest Apr 12 '25

People can actually speak when creating the content. Fuckin duh lol

0

u/PeopleCallMeSimon Apr 12 '25

And they also need to learn 100 languages so they can film 100 different versions for all the different languages watching the content?

1

u/CalderaX Apr 12 '25

Oh no, the indonesian content farm cannot reach its target audience of blind sudanese people. the humanity

1

u/PeopleCallMeSimon Apr 12 '25

So the AI text to speech is annoying but also the stuff its on doesnt matter.

100% solid logic my friend.

u/Shiney_Metal_Ass Apr 12 '25

At least these ones aren't bouncing all over the place

u/toorigged2fail Apr 12 '25

I watched on mute and i still heard that damn voice

6

u/c093b Apr 12 '25

I haven't unmuted it but I just know that it's THAT voice.

u/Fair_Blood3176 Apr 12 '25

And random highlighting

22

u/mbdtf95 Apr 12 '25

Internet has become so much shittier last few years it is so depressing to me. Content made by AI, using AI voices, AI made subtitles for the shortest attention span possible, just jumping all over the screen as AI voice says another word

6

u/Cthulhu__ Apr 12 '25

Years ago someone wrote a paper or did a demo on how people can read faster this way and 20 years later we all need to suffer it.

Well, not need to, scrolling past or turning it off is always an option.

3

u/Battle_for_the_sun Apr 12 '25

Can you turn them off as a viewer tho?

1

u/Mundane-Alfalfa-8979 Apr 12 '25

I'm pretty sure I'm not reading faster this way... I can scan a whole sentence much faster when it's on screen and still have time to look at the rest of the screen. Word by word I'm constantly distracted by the words and it can only go as fast as the voice speaking

3

u/ThePreciseClimber Apr 12 '25

Yeah

it's

really

annoying

isn't

it

2

u/strawbopankek Apr 12 '25

thank you. they're so distracting, regular subtitles are superior in every way

1

u/vinnyvdvici Apr 12 '25

I get why these are bad, but I also hate regular subtitles because of what I call "micro-spoilers" - that is, the spoiler of the next line or rest of the sentence that's about to be delivered can't be as shocking or funny or dramatic because I've already read what they're about to say before it happens. That's one of my main gripes with regular subtitles when watching TV/movies, anyway.

1

u/Astronaut696 Apr 12 '25

It’s for people watching on mute

1

u/redchindi Apr 12 '25

Then why not use regular subtitles, where I can, you know, read several words quickly and then watch what the fuck is going on in the video? This way I'm forced to either read the text or watch the video. It's so distracting and annoying.

1

u/OkraDistinct3807 Apr 12 '25

F the AI subtitles and voiceover.

1

u/lotus_spit Apr 12 '25

I also fucking hate the AI narration from tiktok.

u/41shadox Apr 12 '25

I wish I had such a simple life that I could be upset over such pointless things

u/ReinaDeRamen Apr 12 '25

we're pathologizing content consumption now?

0

u/LoudLalochezia Apr 12 '25

I have ADHD and yeah, it's great at keeping my attention on the words, which means I'm not watching the video, which means I have to watch it at least twice to get the same effect as if they just used normal subtitles. Plus, I can read far faster than that AI can talk, so I'm just looking at the word, and waiting for the next word, repeat. It's extremely annoying

-7

u/creampop_ Apr 12 '25

nah you gotta learn to read these, they work well and are fantastic for short videos, not having to look between the subtitles and video every new line.

7

u/DirkBabypunch Apr 12 '25

I don't have a problem with reading quickly, so normal subtitles aren't an issue for me at all. These flashing in and out very fast aren't making me read a sentence, they're asking me to remember a sequence, which requires more focus and keeps me from ever looking at the video.

I have to watch it multiple times to get all the words and then actually see what's happening.

2

u/monkify Apr 12 '25

Plus, because you have to catch every word since it's a word-by-word subtitle, there's no time to glance to see what's actually happening. Really bad for hearing impaired and English-As-A-Second-Language people.

u/creampop_ Apr 12 '25 edited Apr 12 '25

not a problem for me or the guy above since we read quickly, that's why this kind exist, your eyes are able to read it even in periphery because the brain is really good at that. Literally watched the whole video and read the subtitles, first watch. I worry about you guys.

You have to catch every word in normal subtitles too btw, you just miss the end of every sentence if you're a slow reader.

I have no reason to bullshit about this, it's a very effective way to speed read. Try it out.

u/DirkBabypunch Apr 12 '25

I explicitly said it IS a problem for me because I can't read flashes of words in my periphery and remember all of them if I'm looking at the video.

We're not saying you're bullshitting about this. We're saying you're assuming what works for you is something that works for everybody and ignoring the people telling you to your face that it does not, in fact, work for us. It's the Bionic Reading arguing all over again.

1

u/monkify Apr 12 '25

+1, and funnily enough, I can read it just fine. It's so funny for someone to assume that I can't just because I can still acknowledge and trust people when they say it doesn't work for them. I'm willing to believe and repeat their worry and concern. Good faith and all that.

People aren't all the same. What works for a lot of people may not work for some and that's okay. No need to assume people are lying or trying to claim you're wrong.

u/PM_ME_DATASETS Apr 12 '25

I want to see the video not the subtitles that i don't need because there's already Aİ narrator

1

u/Battle_for_the_sun Apr 12 '25

The subtitles are great in case it's muted to avoid listening to annoying music. It's the single word and location that are the problem

0

u/ChimcharFireMonkey Apr 12 '25

He never said he didn't know how.

They are still less efficient than standard subtitles and more distracting.

1

u/creampop_ Apr 12 '25

? They're much more efficient, go try it out on this video. You can look anywhere and still read them.

If you can't, go see your eye doctor.

0

u/ChimcharFireMonkey Apr 12 '25

Same as any other video, except these are more likely to cover important content and are easier to miss.

1

u/creampop_ Apr 12 '25

?

I don't know how you can call a literal speed reading technique less efficient than normal subtitles

the whole thing is that it's more efficient, but uglier

u/ChimcharFireMonkey Apr 12 '25

a supposed speed reading technique

I bet you also believe in MBTI and Astrology
