CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Pretty sure it's AI or at least synthetically generated. You can tell by the weird cadence and lack of emoting with certain phrases. Whoever wrote the script went overboard for sure.Thanks @sjastro
The images are unbelievable. Beautiful would not be an overstatement.
The voice over is a bit florid and overblown, Fortunately I could turn the sound off.

Great pics though!

Perhaps the blandness and artificial tone of the narration is to compensate for the artistic license used in the images.
Let's not forget these objects were imaged in the infra-red range which is beyond the human eye!

It's not just the blandness and tone of the voice. There was also some confused stress suggesting synthetic speech.
The actual script used sounds like it was composed by someone (an AI?) which had been overfed on a diet of ostentatious adjectives, metaphors and similes along with a side dressing of verbosity.
Artistic licence or not, I still think the images were incredible.

OK there was some criticism about the narration.
Here is the response from Dr Becky when the first JWST images were revealed.

To think there are those that bemoan unweaving the rainbow. Do they not hear the awe and excitement in these scientists voices? The more one understands, the more awe and wonder one has.
If there is a god, then believers should be champing at the bit for more such revelations. For if a being could do this, what a being it is.
