It's clear that plenty are doing the following:
- find a random topic tied to their channel, e.g. some battle in Napoleonic wars
- have Perplexity do as much research on the topic
- have AI write a script for 20 minutes of it based on research
- genAI images and video content
- genAI the voiceover
- profit
I hate it.
It's not even terrible content, nor it's not informative, but it's soulless and not very entertaining.
Worst thing is that you're not told it's AI generated so you looking at pictures of the battle thinking they come from real paintings or something, so you maybe want to research more about that painting and it's all fake and not ai labeled.
TikTok has it even worse. I think I've seen the "mother protects child from avalanche on a porch" variation in any goddamn way, with wolves, bears, people, deer, snow tigers..nothing is ai labeled and it all pretends to be genuine.
Most videos about funny pets, which I loved, are also super fake. Labrador saves small child from falling tv, British shorthair chasing mastiff...all of this fake..
None of it labeled. It's slop after slop.
