Thank you for producing this video. I must say, however, I can't stand AI generated sing-songy voiceover. It is so un-genuine. Ugh! I feel like I'm watching some kind of AI slop for high school kids. I guess I have start getting used to it. :-(

Yeah, the cadence isn't great. It's still pretty amazing technology though.

AI is not making video very well yet it seems. The most interesting thing to me was the phrase "brilliant AI partner".

I don't understand why people use words like 'partner' or 'friend' when they talk about a relationship with an AI. As everybody involved in the substack probably knows, most AI bots are built from cognitive metadata that has been scraped from the Internet without people's consent. If you want a metaphor that sounds like an AI is a human being, the metaphor should reflect non-consensual labor. The best word I can think of is 'slave'.

The way we anthropomorphize AI is interesting. In fact, I have a doctoral student doing a dissertation on the topic. Thanks!
