I had to re-evaluate my rule of thumb that mispronounced common words are a sign of an AI voice in YouTube videos because I keep watching videos of Zoomers who mispronounce words like "Wiener" or "Haiti". What the fuck is happening to society. Also how do you do a "documentary" about people and apparently never looked at a video source where the person's very common name is said out loud and you would then know it

@sun My favourite is when people phone in to post-game sports shows and mispronounce a players name that, by the very nature of sports commentary, had to have been correctly pronounced for them tens if not hundreds of times during the game :blob_grin:

@godzilla I watched the "documentary" further and he straight up played a video clip where multiple people pronounced the very common name correctly and he continued in his video pronouncing the name wrong, almost exactly like what you're saying. maybe it's some kind of mental problem.
