I’ve had this idea that is just too awful for me to actually do it.

Create a script that generates brainrot videos with a voice just reading popular Wikipedia pages out loud.

Actually I want the same thing but for txt and pdf files. I have a ton of stuffs I'd like to immerse myself in while driving. There are websites for this but I'd prefer something local.

Oh, the voice should also sound humane.

You’ll be joining a lot of other people doing exactly the same thing.

The barriers to entry for this used to be slightly higher. You would have to write the script, read it out, edit any bloopers and then find some interesting b-roll to go along with it.

This is not all pretty much automated and the sea of AI slop on YouTube is quite incredible.

Small typo - “This is now all pretty much automated…”
