Isn’t the pronunciation rather è than é, since ai says è, such as in j’ai and j’aime.

Pronunciation of hais and hait
This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate haïr in the present tense in French (Le Présent)"
Asked 3 years ago
Bonjour Stéphane,
Thank you for pointing this out! The lesson has been updated to mention that both are correct, i.e. 'ai' can be pronounced [é] or [è] depending on regions (Paris area: [é] - Britanny [è]). Therefore words like 'lait / j'ai' will be pronounced differently depending on where you are from or with whom / where you have learnt French.
See links here: prononciation 'ai' [é]/[è] - pronounciation "j'ai"
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
