  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.
