Absolutely this. Either you already saved it with yt-dlp or it's lost to the depths.

This is why it is actually important to Subscribe to channels that you like, so new content from them will be pushed to you.

Yeah but the ai can sing to you can tell you how things work.

Some guy on here told me I didn't know how to use AI because im not using AI to plan my workout, my diet and the diet of my kids.

There is going to need to be things labelled as AI that you can filter out. If they don't do that they are making a grave mistake

I have to watch Kings and Generals only now. AI has started showing up over real documentaries.

But you can also watch Hitler give a speech translated into English

It’s goes both ways.

People realized you can use AI to create these shite videos thats void of any personal or emotion insight. With zero fact checking. They create an AI YouTube channel with these and make money

How? The good ones are lost in a blizzard of crap. Info overload is as bad as info scarcity if you are looking for quality or authority.

Yep. It’s hard to find decent content that’s not just terrible AI bs. Thankfully I subscribe to several real ones and stick with them. But YouTube in general is trending more toward AI generated videos and they’re fine with it. Going to have to use Patreon or other free platforms for original, real content.

Yes Twitter is 99% engagement bait. Just a sea of garbage trying to capture a couple views and likes to harvest a few pennies.

I kind of think this will low key be one of the reasons AI destroys the world.

It will eliminate historians. Real historians who actually do the work.

And all anyone will know of history is AI slop and bullshite.

I have been fighting this problem for some time with history and weather videos. I basically greatly expanded by subscribed list and exclusively watch that now.

It’s been slop for years even before the AI boom. The original YouTube has been long gone

In a sensible world, this may be true.
However we know that 50% of the population believe literally anything that their feeble minds are fed.

Unfortunately, it's going to be an even better propaganda tool for the cult of libtard....
