Whose voice are you 'borrowing' for this?

Compared to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24GfgNtnjXc this video is absurdly limited https://tma.live/video/9c8e725e-ec21-41a7-984a-317d84216497



Mildly off topic, for what I think is the best material on rainbows check out this lecture (and the entire 801+802 courses by Walter Lewin)

https://youtu.be/pj0wXRLXai8


In his last lecture he mentions that the best part of teaching is when a student sends them a photo of a rainbow 10 years after graduating, saying that they remember the whole physics behind it.

Same for me. I think of the cones of light being formed when I see the rainbow and that amazing lecture.


The voice is just OpenAI’s default tts voice. I agree that Veritasium video is an incredible work and the ai version is absurd by comparison! This is mostly a proof of concept that this is possible at all, and as LLMs get smarter it’ll be interesting to see if the quality automatically improves. For now, the tool is really only useful for very specific or personal questions that wouldn’t already exist on YouTube.
