Exclusive Epilogue – Narrated by ElevenLabs AI mimicking my voice

I found this fantastic dystopian surgeon comic series, with some really well done videos. Surgeon X looks like it went defunct in 2017, but all their great content is still posted on the website and on YouTube. Checkout Surgeon X at this link.
Audio: Who Sounds Better, Me or the AI?
