A human reader for a popular product is generally a paid actor who reads the script nearly verbatim, not a domain expert, so it has no bearing on the technical quality of the script.
- dannersy 2mo agoYou may be correct, but from a user experience and product standpoint, you'll never get around the fact that if something doesn't feel real then it will also feel less quality and thus less valuable. Whether you like this about the human experience or not is irrelevant, since they are selling something they expect humans to use and buy, and one would hope they'd want their customers to come away from it feeling like they got their money's worth.
- ffsm8 2mo agothere is definitely a cost of doing either. because if its human narrated, the likelihood of it being up-to-date drops because _updating it after changes costs actual money_, whereas the ai naratted likely only needs to have its script adjusted to kick of the generation pipeline. it really depends on how well its actually implemented imo - and i have no idea how well this particular case is in parctice, as i've never worked with perforce. nonetheless, charging for such a video is kinda incredible. i was just adressing the difference between human anrrated and ai narrated.
- dannersy 2mo agoI mean, yeah, if I'm going off the cuff it seems like a scam either way. What you describe is just regular product stuff, AI doesn't change that much here. Though, what I do see that is different from the usually is companies attempting to cut corners but not reducing prices. They're keeping prices high that may have reflected a cost to production and that has suddenly taken a nose dive.
- thrance 2mo agoA human voice is just a marker that some effort and care went into the making of this video. With AI voices, it's lazy slop more often than not.
