The AI narration was off-putting, but the video footage was cool.

That is not AI. The same voice narrates at least two years ago. Just scroll down in the channel's video list.

The description of the video states it is in fact AI:

> A synthesized text-to-video voiceover was used in the narration for this story.

Where does it say that? I can’t see it in the video description.

The second line. The video description for me says the following:

"HAWAIʻI VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK - An incredible sight at the summit of Kilauea volcano on Saturday morning, as Episode 38 erupted enormous lava fountains across the caldera, destroying one of the webcams that was live streaming the event.

All images and video are courtesy the U.S. Geological Survey. A synthesized text-to-video voiceover was used in the narration for this story."

Well it would've been better if they kept the video on the actual camera that ate it instead of switching back and forth constantly. It's not Liam Neeson climbing a fence, guys.
