General Discussion

posted the same replies here no matter who had posted this OP.

The video you posted IS about AI. It's from someone who started out doing AI videos about dragons and superheroes, then made what looks like a very cynical switch to politics to snare a gullible audience.

YouTube has become flooded with AI slop because it's easy to create. People who have zero interest in politics can have AI spit out a script for them to read - or to have an AI-generated voice read.

The same thing's happening, "thanks" to AI, with self-publishing platforms where anonymous "authors" who might not have any real experience with (or even any interest in) writing suddenly publish lots of books on all kinds of different subjects - whatever bait they think people will fall for. Garbage books with advice that can be harmful.

I was just going to point out that people with no musical talent are doing the same sort of thing using AI music generators...and then I remembered that you KNOW that already, because you posted AI-generated music six months ago. In the Lounge.

You said there in reply 4 that you 'hate AI" and in reply 10 that you "loathe AI."

I hadn't remembered you'd posted that thread until just now, or I'd have brought it up yesterday and asked why, if you hate/loathe AI, you'd post a video with AI-generated political advice. ?????

You said in that Lounge thread that you'd contacted the YouTuber who was obviously using AI to ask if he was using AI. Did you ever hear back?

That YouTuber is still ripping off famous artists and albums with AI (though he seems to be focusing on YouTube shorts recently, more than he was six months ago). There's still no admission of AI use in the profile info you can reach from his main page, but he does have three links there for donations, for anyone who thinks he isn't a crassly exploitative wannabe who not only has no respect for the artists he rips off, but no respect for his YouTube viewers. He's uploaded ripoffs of several more famous albums in the last month, and he still isn't admitting he's using AI, because the most gullible people probably give him the largest donations.

Sigh.

I'm trying to keep people from being gullible about AI and those who exploit it. I explained why videos like this are a waste of time and harmful.

You have no valid reason to say "Shame on you" to me.

But I have reason to ask why you posted an AI video after saying you loathed/hated AI. And why you didn't check the YouTuber's account for any signs of especially cynical and exploitative use of AI, after I pointed out what was done by that other YouTuber.
