How I won $2,750 using JavaScript, AI, and a can of WD-40

In previous contests, I always had to write and record the narration for my entries on my own microphone, stumbling over lines, re-recording to account for dog barks or baby cries in pursuit of the perfect take. Historically, I’d search creative commons archives for the perfect little soundtrack, but this time, AI tools made the job ridiculously simple.
