    It’s not deep southern. It sounds like someone from Pennsylvania who listens to country music.

        AI slop. I opened the link back up and it is dozens of 30-60 second clips of people with various distinctive accents speaking into a camera like these. All with a number for the video title. All with like 4 views. Some of the videos are much more obviously (poorly) AI generated, so it’s safe to assume these are AI as well.

        My guess this is some startup from a 3rd world country trying to create some AI video generator with the hook being that it can do accents really well. It very much reminds me of those guys who keep making YouTube videos “analyzing” various cartoons like the Simpsons, Avatar, and South Park America.

          we don’t really do the tcha thing following a d-sound, though. that’s usually only reserved for hard t’s “Don’tcha” as you used an example for, or the famous “yah, sure, y’betcha”

          the real problem is lacking the elongated o’s, and a’s. (Minessota becomes Minesoootah,) and tag" (as in price tag) would become “price tahg”

          it needs to be said that the accents depicted in Fargo were extreme and cartoonish. even rural parts, we’re not quite that bad (especially with the ‘tcha’ sounds) - unless of course we’re making fun of ourselves.

          Personally, I think this is an AI synthesis and it’s not actually anything specific; just a freaky mishmash.

          ETA- Garison Keiler is probably the most minnesotan accent you’ll hear. (enjoy some Guy Noir.) (alternatively, an interview, where he’s not doing a character.
