A Note On Video Creation:
As many people have been wondering or stating that this is AI, I will therefore go through my process. The voice is a digital replica of a professional voice-over artist, and therefore there will be mispronunciations, but I will do my best to make it sound right. If it doesn't, perhaps some of you can get a good laugh. The imagery is made by an AI image generator, which I use to bring my visualizations to life. Research is done by both me and Google's search engine AI to ensure factual accuracy. This can then cause some repetition in the script because the goal is to have 1+ hours for those seeking to fall asleep but I will do my best to ensure little to no repetition is made.
