34. Will's voice isn't right

Sun Feb 15, 2026, 01:01 PM

It’s too “youthful” sounding. Will is 84 years old. Even the man in the videos looks too young.

YouTube has been inundated with AI slop crediting the content to people— living AND dead— without their actual participation or permission. I’ve seen it in many different genres from entertainment to science and politics.

I’ve taken to checking the posting source before clicking on the videos.
