When you play either of these videos itβs just a AI voice talking over someone just clicking around. The scripts are also so similar.
The internet is dying.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

The person behind a slop channel will have a tendency to not verify their facts or have updated information on the topic in the first place thus more likely of having misguided information. And not to speak how an LLM spits out very generic shit even if you prompt it to go in depth.
For a real channel, I can hold the person accountable and responsible for spreading misinformation or help them expand their knowledge. The creator, using that feedback, can make corrections and improve their fact checking and quality control over their content. How do you hold a slop channel accountable whose sole purpose is to generate videos for ad revenue in the short term? That slop channel will not even respond to the comments.
Horse shit. There is garbage both human and LLM generated.
No you can't. You can block them and move on. Or report them. Same options.
Cash grab creators are cash grab creators. Shit will be shit. I would argue that AI makes it a considerable order of magnitude easier to churn out garbage, which makes it a matter of scale.
It's like fake nudes. Back in the days of film photography you could still make fake nudes by physically cutting anf pasting images together. It was considerably more work and low quality. Now you can generate much higher quality fake nudes far far faster, even faking different angles and facial expressions from the input.
That inarguably changes things.
There are tons of alternative options besides using AI to generate voiceover. There's the tried and true "put text on the screen", even just by typing shit in a note taking program as you record.
There's no need to make a video at all if you don't have the skills/resources. People can make blog posts, websites, posts on forums or sites like this very one where they just type out the text and include screenshots or short video clips where necessary.
And there are plenty of people with negative levels of video production skills and bad voices still fucking doing it anyway.
There is no situation where using AI voice is actually necessary to get the information out.
