When they use AI to dub the English voice for the whole course, the result is a disaster like this. I was so excited about this course, but I got disappointed as soon as I started watching. Don't judge the English voice from the intro video; that's not AI. But the rest of the course is AI, and it's very clunky and useless; the AI sentences hardly make any sense. The marketing team on this website knows how to deceive their English-speaking customers through misrepresentation. Great Job!

While there is good content in this course and I have learned some things, it doesn't make it clear that the video & audio in the course isn't available. I was expecting to be able to download the materials, redesign and remix this scene. To get to the end and find out this isn't the case is a little frustrating.
