What a lovely narration. Beautiful story. It's interesting to see addiction illustrated in such a tangible way; so relatable after all this time. Its fascinating in a number of ways. I could write several paragraphs.
@@lavona8204 Agreed! I absolutely hate being spoken to be a fake human! I find it SOOO emotionally insulting, despite how excellently it’s done. Like you say, it’s incredible that technology can do things this well. Despite those blips, it’s actually incredible. The intonation and flow is actually really amazing, and it gives us the opportunity to listent o books like this, which would be less easy to get if it wasn’t here… But, I still would love it to be read out by someone like Alan Watts. His wonderful voice and talks are so real, and it’ll always be better than AI! Have a wonderful day, friend.
I'm impressed. But I was so into the short story by Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky! "Numerous literary critics regard him as one of the greatest novelists in all of world literature, as many of his works are considered highly influential masterpieces."
Thinking citizen, I don't know what you are thinking writing that comment 😂 Perhaps there's some comments missing in the thread because I can't see why you would respond with that to the original comment to be honest
@@davydacounsellor Oh no I was kind of coming to your defence because another person going by "thinkingcitizen had sent you a random reply suggesting mild racism or ignorance I'm not sure which, so my response was actually directed at them but I forgot to reply directly to them
This channel has my sincere gratitude for postimg these wonderful stories which has increased the joy i feel as i am working class and had nnever been shown works like this previously there is something special in Russian tales that i am not educated enough to put into words here's to you Neural Surfer Stephen from Glasgow 👏🙂
Thank you for this service. Based on some comments here, they're giving you credit for translation, narration and illustration. Your channel blurb explains that you use an AI to 'augment' a natural voice. I take this to mean you use a recorded human sample to 'clone' a custom AI voice and then feed the English translation into it. I also imagine you prompted an art AI to make each video's illustration. People interested in text at this level should be aware of the power of AI.

When things happen and people think it could have been prevented, the blame is still on the violator of rights and we really don't know what would have happened, if things were different. It is effective to call people to good qualities; through their other good qualities.
The Russians have an irritating custom of using two long, full and frequently unpronounceable names when speaking to or of a person and using them repeatedly and FAR TOO OFTEN. . It doesn't help the readability or flow of a story. These are heavy, dreary stories to begin with and weighing down sentences with endless repetitions of ponderous, overly complex names doesn't make them more approachable.

@@leimaniax it's crazy how far technology has come. I had a feeling with a couple of the little blips that happened.

You do the world a great service bringing these tales and stories to the western world, we are all the same underneath. Thank you.
So Japanese or Indians or Chinese are not the same underneath 😂 because they are eastern world ? What logic!
@@thinkingcitizen I have also read the Dow and Vedas also Buddhist manuscripts, don't worry your all included.

In places this tale is very wry and tongue-in-cheek. To me, very Russian. Well written, and well told. Хорошо написано и хорошо рассказано. Thank you.
Thank u for telling this beautiful story.
Thank you love your stories ❤
Thank you for translating the book
Listen every night!
Well read. Many thanks 😊
Who's the artist in the thumbnail? I love the paintings. The stories are wonderful.
Who is artist. Fydor Bucholz?
I wanted to know also. Perhaps we will find out?
I believe it's AI.

He , the addict, gave his friend a chance to forgive him...
That's a wonderful perspective!
I f you give do it with a generous heart ❤️ not conditional ❤
It has parallels to Bartlelby the Scrivner. Are we responsible for others? Are we our brother’s keeper?

Neuralsurfer- you allow too many ads in your atories. I can’t doze off cuz I’ll be listening to a 10 minute infomercial 😢

I swear you'd cut 10 minutes off this if you didn't say those 20 syllable names 500×😂
Emilijanushka?
The repetition of “to be sure” was more than I could audibly take in.
you could ,possibly , read the book !.

Nice to hear it. It’s well done, but I wish it was read by an actual person. These AI voiceovers are awful. So so disconnecting. 31:00
Bugs all over. 41:24
But still, enjoyed listening.
Sounded good to me way better than the old computers talking
A who would pay these readers?
If it was live it wouldn't be free on yt. 🤷 If this is an AI voice over it's very well done. I can't tell.
Boring
Boring!? Not in the least my friend. "Listening" to something from such an author in that period was and is awesome

I know!
