Having listened to hours of Watts' lectures, I'm certain that this is not a recording of him. It is an AI generated voice to text model that has been trained to sound like him. Examples below: ====== The content may be aligned with Watts, but it isn't actually his voice. He was a master orator and wouldn't make the mistakes present in this video. I won't document all the errors, but listen carefully and you will hear what I mean. Below are a couple of examples. He emphasizes the wrong syllables in simple words (EG: Present 1:01). AI gets this wrong because it doesn't always understand the context of the sentence that changes the pronunciation of words. (IE: Pree-ZEHNT vs PREHZ-ehnt in this case.) Sentences run on and don't have the needed space between ideas (eg: 2:32 "even mistakes transform. They no longer sting with regret" sounds like a jane-sees-spot-run sentence). And while the AI voice isn't mono-tone, it lacks the lilt and laughter that punctuate humorous statements and observation that are omnipresent in Alan Watts' recorded works. ====== I'm all for Alan Watt's message, but this ham fisted attempt at getting an AI VTT model to produce Watt's oratory is distasteful IMHO. It blurs the lines of authenticity and cheapens the listener's experience of Watts as AI cannot deliver the performance and nuance of his work. I would hate to have someone new to Watts listen to this and think this is what listening to his (authentic) oratory is like. Please delete it or change the voice to something that is not Watts.
i agree, but i dont think he should delete it. The message is very important and it could help a lot of people, tho he could make it clear in the description or the beggining of the video, thats its an ai generated voice but the text is still legit
Because we are unconditional love (Jesus Christ), the son (way/truth/life) of the father (subconscious collective) Through Life’s only constant: unconditional love (the Holy Spirit); the truth/life/way (the son) of the subconscious (the father) By the logic of two poles who must remain ever apart: the subconscious truth (father, son and Holy Ghost) and the conscience perception (father of lies) By which same power of wisdom the religious are slaves to fear (constant terrorists), the life/way/truth of the conscience deception (sons of the devil)
How did Starmer not get away with this for year? Wy6 ONLY now are we finding out about hos past? He needs a full investigation into his actions over the last decade.

AIMAZING
I can’t stand that they do this. The inflections in a speakers voice is part of the experience. You can’t duplicate Alan watts vibe. Can’t be done.
Can see that its AI because its missing the marvelous feeling and the fun in Allans way of talking
There is a notice in the description of that this is created by AI. However, it's based on Alan Watt's talks and the result is actually quite good!
Hello can you confirm whether both of the audio and script are AI generated or is it just the audio ?
Second!
first!.
Not bad at all.
This needs a disclaimer that it is AI generated and where the script comes from. I love Alan, downvoting until proper disclaimer is posted.

basically the premise of the book The Alchemist
This is a stupid philosophy. Sounds beautiful, does not take you to places you would actually want to be.
