  Jez, they can’t make the AI sound human, so now they’re trying to make the kids sound like AI.

  The awkward rests between Q and W are terrible.

    Wait, you’re not saying this channel is AI are you?

      Not really, I know nothing about the channel. It’s just the songs rhythm lacks any real variance and emotion, something that AI could replicate.

      If they teach kids that’s how to sing/talk, then the AI voices will suddenly sound “human”.

        The scuttlebutt is that the LMNOP section is hard for kids to learn, especially ESL kids. Slowing down that section helps them distinguish between each letter. Personally I was taught each letter individually alongside the song. Even as a hearing impaired individual I never really had an issue with that part. I am not a child educator though, so maybe there’s more research backing this up than one 30 year old anecdote.

        Here is patient zero according to some light googling. That song came out 16 years ago, looong before we knew how goofy AI sounded.

  For the curious, it’s because some kids were singing “LMNOP” and thinking “elemenopee” was all one letter.

  This version sounds like it’s for babies!

  Seriously though, i can imagine a two tiered elementary social structure developing around if you like the esol version or the og version
