AI Narration is a Mistake

Intriguing and provocative and worth the time to read. Minor distractions, such as virtual voice continuous mispronunciations and imperfect pauses, and occasional incorrect science like claiming the Pacific Ocean was formed from the collision of Theia, should not distract from the main theme. It’s a thesis that needs examination.
