7:14 AM (of Thursday, January 16th 2024)
Today is Wednesday, January 15th 2024 and I've recently started to watch a lot of Chinese anecdotal videos. These videos are just Chinese people recording themselves monologuing about their life experiences. The videos were originally in Chinese and were taken from Chinese Tiktok Douyin, then uploaded to YouTube dubbed with an AI voice in English.
An example channel that only uploads these kinds of videos and the one I'm watching the most is China Unvarnished. It's so fascinating with the AI English voiceover because the AI is always so calm as it reads the transcript. Sometimes the people in the video can be very expressive and angrily shouting throwing a tantrum but the AI just voices them in such a calm manner, it's hilarious.
I don't know why there's no American or even Western channel that makes videos like China Unvarnished, while there are several Chinese channels like it. Perhaps it's a cultural thing, like how the idea for mukbangs originated and culturally grew in South Korea, perhaps these kind of Chinese monologue videos originated in China and culturally grew there too, and also has some unique genre name.
Anyway. It's 7 AM of the next day (Thursday) as I write this. I have been awake all day for 22 hours now, since 9 AM today (Wednesday). I'm tired. I'm going to sleep. I can barely write a cohesive thought right now because I'm so sleepy. I'm also fasting. I'll write about that in tomorrow's entry.
