  • Is this AI narrated?

    I really appreciate good news stories and optimism but please take a different approach to the narration and editing. It. sounds. like. every. word. has. been. separately. recorded. and. edited. together. Or it’s AI reading a script. The good news is that the stories are cool, so keep improving!

  • Love the idea, but…

    The cadence of the hosts voice is hard for me. I can’t tell if it’s a person or bad AI.
