I’m not enthusiastic about the content industry as it’s kind of shit so far. Not just that, but it’s becoming as big of a nuisance as conspiracy theory content—like how at one point 49 out of 50 history videos on YouTube was something about a conspiracy of archaeologists paid to keep ancient aliens or ancient high technology secret? Now we’re getting spammed scientific content that has the potential to make that number 49999 out of every 50000.

Every time I’m looking for scientific content on YouTube, I keep getting my search results clogged with these poorly done AI-generated video essays that mostly use the same generated voice and the same clips. Sometimes these videos don’t address the points they advertise. They’ll often put a thumbnail and title up to make it look like an interview with Alan Guth or Roger Penrose.

I don’t even like the term AI, it’s not artificial or intelligent. That’s just a marketing term. What happens if we develop something like the positronic brain?

Also, it pretty much has killed comment sections on news channels as now the broken English Russian and Chinese bots of the past have in more recent times begun to sound more human and more like a native speaker and not “I am the indigenous of The Britain of England who we should Brexit stop bad people. Praise to God.”

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
