lately ive had to hit mute on youtube videos to kill the very annoying ai voices and use closed captions instead .

1. But, it is still AI. Why watch it at all?

5. Agreed! I tend to block those ASAP, but...

Many of the AI channels are directly ripping off similar ones, to the point there really should be a copyright strike. All they're doing is copying a story and adding their own AI voice and pictures. It's disgusting, and I do block those. Jerks.

The trouble is, I watch channels in other languages - one for a cheetah in Russia is now being overdubbed and it's just awful. This is something YT has been adding, not by choice of the channel owner, and I don't know if they know how to turn it off. If this happens to Luna the Pantera and the Turkish veterinarian I love to watch, it's going to get ugly.

2. I wish they'd task AI with providing transcripts for every video instead of making fake Van Goh's. -nt

3. I am having the same problem. very annoying.

4. Especially annoying when viewing foreign language channels.

I have captions on anyway to translate, but I like the sound of voices speaking other languages (I might even learn something, oo) and the fake voice is just terrible. The channel owners don't turn it on. YT does. Ew.
