AI is scary.

I couldn't watch/listen more than 6 minutes of this 10 minute video. The A.I.'s piecing together footage in a somewhat random way reminded me of what drunken chimpanzee would create. "Why is it showing me clips of Frank Zappa?" That's because Frank Zappa shows up later. While discussing Neal Young, we are treated to footage Paul Simon, and Elvis Costello. So we know they are going to show up later.
The text to the A.I. narration seemed reasonable, but if the text was A.I. generated for a fast video ($$$), how accurate is it? Did the creator of this channel go back, proof read, the text, like the synchronization of the text and video images were checked? How about double checking that the A.I. narration was good? You know the word record is a verb and a noun, and they are pronounced differently depending on the meaning. A.I. doesn't care because it does not understand the context.
I voted thumbs down. Am I being harsh? No. There are people that spend time researching, writing, and editing for a finished video that is worth watching. Do they make mistakes? Yes, but they are human mistakes, and not factory produced videos with mistakes the creator could care less about.
Maybe they do care? Maybe they really want their videos to provide accurate content? Maybe, but that takes time and people to proof the end results, and that takes time, and time is money.
Check out the channel. How many videos are created a day? As many has they can cobble together. 19 videos published in 7 days.
I am curious if they are using Google's A.I.? If so, it is incredibly average. "But look at what it was able to do! It truly is amazing!" Yes, and I know a dog that can walk on its hind legs. That does not mean I'm entering him in a foot race.

Too bad. I like Linda Ronstadt. $ubscribe. $ubscribe. $ubscribe. Help that computer get into a good communications class, learn how to edit a video, learn about which use of the word record is being used.

If you reply to an AI-generated video in any way, even voting it down, you are telling the algorithm the video is worth showing to more people. That's why channels tell you to vote it up if you like it, down if you don't, please comment below.

The proper way to respond to AI channels is to click the three dots and select "don't recommend channel". You can also remove it from your viewing history so it doesn't recommend more videos like that one.

Not long ago I made my first purchase on Etsy, a couple of handmade puppets that look just like those aliens on Sesame Street that go "Yip yip yip". They look great. And they were shown without AI.
