If anyone else was confused, they're referring to the Audio Readers' Briefs. I didn't immediately recognize it as AI. To be honest the voice sounds exactly like my coworker responsible for doing our product video demonstrations.

I skipped through it and heard it pronounce nginx as en-gee-onix and only then did I realize it was fake.

Hi, see the reply to Joel just up this thread for more info on this. It is not presented as "real" it's clearly introduced as a fun AI extra.
You might want to mention this on the website as well, where it's definitely not clear. I also don't see how to navigate from the website to the introduction where it's explained.
That's a good point. I just redid the sample audio to include the opening section that adds that opening track that sets the stage with the positioning I put above.

I appreciate the idea.
