      Well, not everything. There is some Ai, but it is tagged. So you can check what is AI. Sometimes AI generated stuff, meaning voice synthesis, is only partly used. It may be that I need a dialect or a woman to say something. And then AI is used. I can also tell you that the BBC announcer on radio is also AI. They use Ai in the BBC more than i do.

          It isn’t the youtube channel i am refering to, it is the educational radio stream, which consists of almost a thousand shows? Of which only a few are AI. There are shows on Reagan and on Marx, there are interviews with VS Naipul, George Bernard Shaw, Yale professors, drama, anncient chinese crime fiction (gong’an), seventeenth century scifi (Cyrano de bergerac), combinations of poetry and jazz and blues, Bessy Smith. slave narratives by real interviews that have been restored, interviews with arthur schleshinger, readings by james joyce, real audio of arthur conan doyle, kipling, dramatizations of historical battles, kalidasa, tagore, the canadian boarding schools system, E. Pauline Johnson, Sitting Bull, ancient Cameroonian and Iriquios legends, programs on the House of Wisdom in ancient Baghdad, Avicenna, and the Songhay empire. I have one dramatization of a classic Japanese writer who speculates about a solution to a real, but mysterious passage in the West African chronicles about the final fate of Abu Bakr II, who was lost at sea trying to cross the Atlantic. etc etc.

      No, it is not. The BBC uses more Ai than i do. There are also shows on historical music like sea shanties, and even canadian lumberjack songs, from the 1960s. I am a huge fan of folk and traditional music, you see.

        That seems more like an argument against the BBC than an argument for historyradio. Isn’t your “Once Upon a Time” poem video fully AI generated? At least the visuals anyway. If that’s your real actual voice, I would have vastly preferred to hear it without the slop video attached.

          But remember i run a radio station, not tv station. I made that only for youtube. Also, i wished to learn what it was.

          Sorry ignore my last post. I got confused. I thought you mentioned another of my poem. But that was another person. Yes, you are right. That video was my first attempt at video generation when Grok had a sort free period the very first days. I played around. But there is a lot of editing, for each segment it generated was 4 sec, and i had to do many things to patch it up. I also had to regenerate several segments many times. And you have to do this in voice synthesis also.
