Yeah, a lot of the TTS has gotten really impressive in general. Definitely a clear leap from the TTS stuff I worked with for training simulations a bit over a decade ago. Aside: Installing a sound card (unused) on a windows server just to be able to generate TTS was interesting. It was required by the platform, even if it wasn't used for it.

I generally don't like a lot of the AI generated slop that's starting to pop up on YouTube these days... I do enjoy some of the reddit story channels, but have completely stopped with it all now. With the AI stuff, it really becomes apparent with dates/ages and when numbers are spoken. Dates/ages/timelines are just off as far as story generation, and really should be human tweaked. As to the voice gen, saying a year or measurement is just not how English speakers (US or otherwise) speak.
