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:
