    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.
