So, with a tense mid vowel, like ‘mate’ or ‘hate’?

Subject: maith and haim
In the last two weeks I've heard one native American speaker - narrator,
actually - on YouTube pronounce "myth" as "maith" and another on a very
different channel pronounce "hymn" as "haim."
One more Sign of the Apocaplypse.
