3. It's even worse with historical videos

They claim to be based on real research, and they are, but the fictional or extrapolated parts are like one sees in fiction novels based on time periods. Fewer and weaker disclaimers. Ditto on videos co-opting prominent experts in their fields, the only clues being the wobbling heads and repeats of the same gestures. Plus decades old books or material narrated by seemingly the true author but clipped to fit modern contemporary facts. Ad revenue is likely being paid on all this nonsense. AI Slop should have its wings clipped pronto!
