  • Good news, but…

    The cadence of the reporter’s speech is halting and makes it difficult to focus.

  • 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!
