> The speaker seems to be generated by AI

This is Patrick Boyle, he's not AI generated? Why did you feel like the speaker is AI generated?

And Boyle, IMO, is a great presenter, in part because he is so deadpan

I've watched Patrick's videos for enough years that I know he is not, but I still wonder from time to time. His voice is incredibly flat and uniform, he always uses fake backgrounds and there is extremely high use of jump cuts in his edits.

I suspect that he at least uses AI for scripts. He tends to repeat the same thing worded slightly differently a few times.

The jump cuts have been there since almost the beginning.

The community noticed he rarely blinks and he ran with the gag and edited all of them out.
