Maybe I need to rewatch some older JCS to refresh myself, but the latest vid just didn't seem off to me. Not saying it's not AI, but the script seemed to be in the same style and calibre, where there seemed to be actual insight and not just plainly describing events as they happen.Here's a better example of what the channel is capable of.
From his responses I surmise that they chose to not pay him anymore to read the scripts. They figured they can make MOAR MONEY if they cut him and his salary out of the process and deliver AI slop instead. I hope they regret this decision. I hate this way of thinking and working, and I hate how pervasive it is today.kizzume, the narrator for JCS has made a few comments - archive
this comment really nails it all, and it was done months ago too. damn.
If it really was a few hundred bucks per voice over it's still jarring to go for AI and the drop in script quality. I have to agree with Null in that the channel was sold or the creator fucking lost it and tried to just AI generate his whole way to another million views.From his responses I surmise that they chose to not pay him anymore to read the scripts.

@El Scorcho any chance we can get a viewable archive somewhere?
God's work. At this point I'm expecting everything to go down after some meltdown over the poor reception of AI as "YouTube is sniping us again!" To get people to their patreon. Having the original versions in full for preservation is vital to show the quality of their work before this.Yeah absolutely, I'll have to have a look for them all and see what's there. I'm certain I have pretty much all of them backed up from a while back.
In the meantime there is a pretty decent archive that exists on archive.org:
Kizzume is the voice narrator for JCS videos: he has nothing to do with JCS apart from that. He's just some old guy who was hired to narrate the videos, and as far as I know JCS cloned his voice for the new shitty A.I. narration.I'm pretty sure this is his other channel. I remember unsubbing from JCS after discovering it because I couldn't divorce his voice from his terrible takes. :/
I get going through personal shit and having it take a toll on your work, if anything I'm shocked kizzume is just cool with Jim using his AI voice to just outright replace him. Even with supposedly "not being left in the dark" I don't understand how anybody could take being replaced by an inferior AI as anything but an insult.supposedly the ai voice will be replaced with kizzume's actual voice in upcoming videos, so here's to hoping that its true.
this comes from the pinned comments of https://youtu.be/Rn8sr7LNm0IView attachment 6733527
if he is still fine with it he's most likely still getting paid, so i'd understand if that is the case.if anything I'm shocked kizzume is just cool with Jim using his AI voice to just outright replace him.
Shoot me a message if you'd be so kind. I'll add anything you have to the archive I put together in this thread in 2021.I have 99% of all the original content, which took a considerable amount of time to get. If the demand is strong enough I'll do my best to post it here for archival purposes.
If you send me everything you have I'll sort through it and upload anything still missing to my archive.I, too, have most of it stored somewhere. It's unorganised though so i don't know what I have/whats missing/whats duped, but its like 15~gb of shit
holy shit, you weren't kidding, lolKizzume Fowler is such a funny character. He has this high-gravitas voice but I distinctly remember 2013 Youtube where he was usually half naked, belly out, nips exposed, and begging Mr. Repzion to not advocate for the ol' Cry & Die as soon as things get hard.

Their videos are pretty good but I have no idea why they need such a big crew, their videos are 90% interrogation footage with no complex after effects editing or anything that would require a big team. You'd think:The only actual record we have of the old crew existing is at the end of the deleted Jussie Smollet video. It seemed like they had a pretty big crew at the time but it's clear it's not the same people running the show anymore.
