Someone shared this video yesterday on the Boston Dynamics post, which has the same intonation and general feel as the encabulator videos. I don't have enough experience to know if it's an homage or if lots of sales videos still sound like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB9T-I7Fh7U

That's an old standard voice. The encabulator videos sound like they do because it was the default style and cadence for a demo/sales video.

The whole concept of “These people could get hurt (let’s put them out of work).” Is always a bit creepy.

Those people then cost the company millions in compensation claims.

(Speaking as a person who has several million dollars of compensations claims sitting on my desk that I need to do reports on ).

I don’t doubt it.
