Audio quality, narration, and overall delivery of the lore is well above the standard quality one would expect from a 2 week old channel. My first thought was "this has got to be stolen content". I don't usually turn on notifications for channels, but I'm very interested to see your future content to see if it maintains the already high standard set. Much love. 💙✌🏻

[@arespaulson414]

Quite impressed. The visuals, evidently AI generated. A quality selection, and I approve of AI generated imagery, so this is pleasing to me (and, in fact, gives me ideas). Your voice... mellifluent. Almost regal. But wait... Astrates? Did you just say Astrates? There! You said it again. Have you been pronouncing it that way all this time? Surely not. Mere moments later... Astartes. As it should be. Then it dawns on me. The voice is AI generated too. It's pronounced your typos. Nicely played. If you hadn't made a typo, I would not have guessed. You've chosen well. Oh. And it was a top notch summary. I wish you'd included the dispersal of the Primarchs... But that's a tiny thing. Your future efforts are going to be enjoyed, I believe this with an Aeldari level of prescience.

[@noonewillnoo]

You took me on a real journey there res. Well figured out.

[@Akillez7]

I noticed the same thing today. He uses an Ai narrator as well. The typos made it stand out and made me wonder. I still love the vids though. Now I'm wondering which Ai narrator he uses because I'm working on a book and I need a narrator to read it back to me while I'm driving.

[@theophrastusbombastus1359]

The main clue for me, regarding the audio, was that s/he is presumably Australian, which is totally dissonant with the narration. But the art was my first clue I solved in regards to AI. The sheer amount of previously unseen images, coupled with evasionary thanks in reply to everyone's compliments in the comments, no sources cited in the description, the list goes on. It seems AI has a valued place in certain circles, and this is defo one we need it the most. The quality produced is very fitting for the setting and the fan-base. I'm thoroughly pleased

[@arespaulson414]

@@theophrastusbombastus1359 I, unlike many, have no issues with AI generated material. But I guess... I want to see it cited. Like you would another's work. I actually think this is a pretty glorious time, and that this age will allow a great many more people to get the thoughts out of their heads and into other's minds without needing to be an expert artist or orator.

Very impressive! If I weren't such a longtime fan of audiobooks I probably would have thought this was a human voice. Just a few inflections and tones that give it away. Same with the script. AI has come a long way.

’...the Emperor knew a reckoning was coming...the Emperor WATCHED as entire worlds were ground into dust...’ He's a psycopath.

[@TalesFromTheWarp_]

You make an interesting comment and one we will explore in a video looking at the mindset and traits of the Emperor.

[@yeastori]

You have to consider what the Emperor has experience, maybe he tried to warn them but they ignored him because humans tend to scoff at dire warnings of doom or what not.

[@MrAbraxus666]

Really good stuff my mans, you'd easily pass as an Arch-Deacon of the Adeptus Ministorum with the way you fire it all together and the voice rocks for it! You just need to watch the use of the word Imperium for anything before the Unification Wars/29th Millennium! Also, I'm throwing it in there now. Watch for the difference between the Mechanicum and the Mechanicus or you'll have neckbeards railing in the channel for years about it, haha! Edit - Yup there it is, sorry for being a pest man, it's genuinely minor in the grand scheme of things, yer stuff is brill. But remember, as part of the Post-Heresy reforms, the Cult Mechanicum became the Cult Mechanicus as a way of differing from the Dark Mechanium and their Hereteks. Also, Terra was still a hefty shithole until the Treaty of Mars, not a Utopia (the White Mountain is a good example), he was just introducing nature back to Terra when the HH started... Well that and the Webway.

Great narration. A major peeve though is the use of "Imperium" during pre Imperial history as a place holder for humanity as a whole. In this day and age that sort of mistake reeks of AI usage to make a script or an actual lack of knowledge. I doubt the latter because of the depth of the narration.

[@DidMyGrandfatherMakeThis]

Unless, you take this as a tale told to those in the far future. Just like if we were tell tales of vikings to people from the 700s they would question 'viking' as at the time they were known to be Norse (which could mean Dane, Norwegian, Scandinavian, etc) or when we tell tales of Celts, despite there being at the time hundreds of Celtic tribes all very unique

[@Leofilmperson]

@@DidMyGrandfatherMakeThis Norse were the people. Viking was the profession of seafaring raider.

[@DidMyGrandfatherMakeThis]

@@Leofilmperson I know. That's the point I'm making

[@theophrastusbombastus1359]

Oh, it reeks of AI, but not for the reasons you suggest. The art is defo AI The narration is defo AI The script, I'd be surprised about because there are typos that the bot tries to pronounce. But otherwise I'd say its an excellent production and, although my opinions of AI are too much to go into here, I'd say it's perfect for this kind of project I tip my hat to the "creator" for thinking of it
