AI voice in video lessons is very annoying

It's overly mechanical when he pronounces coordinates and some other words especially in the end of each phrase. I'm sure there are better voice models now.

I think most of the video lessons are narrated by staff members or other content creators.

It sounds like the same audio clip is used for same coordinate announcement in the video and even between videos. Same goes for words like pawn, game, time. It's not like someone was arranging audio-clips I know that's just how voice generators work. But I believe there are better generators that can sound less annoying.

This really distracts from diving into the lesson.

I asked and that is absolutely a staff member.

The old video lessons are not snazzy, but they are good. Please teach the new female BOT that comments on the classic lessons how to pronounce "zugzwang" correctly.
