2nd update: now accepting click bait viral title suggestions and thumbnails.
This is a video I've been making for ages and I've finally finished it so please don't say anything about the audio problems or glitches or anything else because I'm exhausted and so is my dog.
It's a deep fake.

I had other things to say but I can't remember what they were.

[@debbiehenri345]

If David Attenborough was to actually say some of these lines - obviously I'm referring to those regarding the fact no one listens, no one takes any notice and he's tired of it all - I think that would start to make a lot more people sit up and listen.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. The fact that he's such a nice man would make it all the more jarring for him to suddenly become aggressively upset. Which is sad.

[@dstarley]

Thing is, he already has said this but few people listen. At his speeches at the WEF and political conferences, and in "A life on our planet" David expresses (in a softer way) his frustration at the lack of progress. It saddens me too, but we have to take this emotion and turn it into action to make sure that Sir David's legacy is not in vain!

My takeaway from this video is that we can still have documentaries narrated by Sir David Attenborough even after he has passed and I'm very much okay with that.

[@Theo-1984]

But it’s a combination of not really liking anyone else’s editing and not having anyone to film me that makes it hard. Also I like to put out stuff that people might remember. I don’t know whether that’s a good decision or a bad one

you need a comma after "more often than not".

Man this was great haha. And you did find a flaw in their system and allowing them to fix it. Tho this also shows if you can do voice impressions anything they do to try and prevent it can still be gotten around.

Not a court in the land... This is called 'using your powers for good.' Also ingenious comedy.

This was awesome, and it had a good message. Watch the whole thing, don’t be impatient and give up, don’t have a tiny attention span, wait for it. Wait for it….

I love how the title keeps changing each time I look at it

[@jeffbaird4318]

Laughed. So. Hard. Yes, the opening is long, but it has some good bits too. From spam responses to deep-faking David Attenborough ...this is James Veitch Reloaded!

I love that James has an old Mac, and his guitar has a NASA sticker.

I hope Sir David sees this, he’ll probably be thinking “yup, that’s exactly it’. We need to change and pressure the powers that be to legislate it, globally.

OMG, I am deeply impressed, confused, irritated and amused. That must have been really a lot of hard work. Anything that (the fake voice of) D. A. says has so much credibility, because we are so used to his „documentary“ voice. Awesome and dangerous at the same time!

From a huge fan with hearing problems, thank you for doing subtitles 💜💜💜

Thanks! I’m really glad it helps :)

@@jamesveitch First step, providing subtitles. Second step, installing an unstable AI that thinks it’s David Attenborough into a giant robot body. Third step, teaching it how to overthrow governments. What could possibly go wrong? 😁

[@rlwalker2]

Once he read how impossible it would be to fake another voice I can just hear James saying, "Challenge accepted." He has done that before. lol

[@WildCogs]

Pure genius, scary, sad with a little humour, I do hope Attenborough sees it, sure he'd have a tearful chuckle

James, James, James. It's too long between exploits. I loved the spammer episodes and was delighted to stumble upon this little gem. Well done. I didn't split my sides, but it was a close run thing.
