I know the Kurzgesagt voice when I hear it
"No AI was used in this document." HELL FRICKIN' YEAHHHHHH.
A high-credentials documentary team standing seemingly alone against a sea of AI videos. Took me so long to find something like this.
You know shit has gotten bad when videos use “no ai was used”
How many people became marine biologists because they saw a documentary like this? It became my life calling. Long since retired, I'm still learning new things thanks to you. It's my heaven.
We hope you enjoyed this episode with Steve Taylor as voiceover! Over the next months, we're releasing 6 episodes with Steve, the incredible voiceover of brands including... Kurzgesagt! Leo Richards, of is also working with us closely to make these episodes beautiful, yet deeply scientific. Relax, enjoy, and learn about the Deep Sea!
Putting “no AI was used in the making of this documentary” is why I followed. Nowadays I always have to guess and read through comments to see if it’s AI or not. On this one, I didn’t think it was AI, but it’s so nice to put a disclosure at the beginning
Absolutely fabulous documentary!!! Thank you for clearly stating no AI was used

Someone needs to make a game where you play as a copepod to travel to the surface and back, imagine the terror from all those creatures, would be a great horror game 😂
I'm giving it a like just for no AI being used to make the documentary. The writing is different from most other nature docs, too - maybe the all human production has something to do with that.
Fascinating stuff. Better than TV. Please keep on giving great content.
it's Criminal that this channel doesn't have more recognition. Fantastic work.
I slowed this down to 85% to fall asleep last night. But I’m so intrigued, I’m back this morning to hear the whole thing consciously.
Steve’s voice acting is so talented he can make success out of any new channel. Reminds of David Attenborough and it makes me so excited to see a modern voice of science
The section where you describe the perspective of a copepod is BEAUTIFUL, i often find myself enamoured by how alien the experience of deep sea creatures must be, and you brought it to life in a vivid (and horrifying) way 🥰 the quality of this video is stunning, I really can't believe it's freely available. THANK YOU!!!!
This channel is a gem, two of the best narrators too!
"Best ad I've seen." - 1:40
this is great content but i just wanted to say that as someone who really struggles to fall asleep, when i finally manage to start drifting off the parts where the music gets louder wake me up again. worth it bc i enjoy the content but also im hoping to fall asleep. might be a personal problem😅im just putting it out there. i appreciate the videos tho!
I love this channel so much! By the way, doesn't the narrator sound remarkably similar to Kurzgesagt? Edit: It actually is Kurzgesagt. No wonder the stuff on this channel is so fascinating!
