      Meta, Google (Alphabet), Microsoft, Apple and several more companies like that all have their own AI's going. Its a mess and its only going to get worse.
      So many YT videos are already being scripted and produced by AI, thoughout ALL topics, not just historycal videos. Imagine a world where all or at least creative works have been done by AI and those that have'nt been you will have to search for. Also all the data that is being collected (mined) and analyzed to death is another problem and a serious threat for all of sociaty.

      the problem with being an artist is that people don't think they should pay for the work because 'it looks so easy'.
      I gave up on my career because bad faith clients would refuse to pay the agreed price.
      the same exists in goldsmithing, unles you have a flash shop filled with mass produced crap, no one thinks they should pay 100bucks per hour.
      and yet, it is the artist making things to order that gets shorted.
      I once made a copy of a necklace I wore for a surgeon to give to his wife. three months work and 3500euros agreed, he decided he would only pay 750euros.
      I told him, "that's fine, I'll keep it".
      that company is attempting to do the same, stealing work to profit.
      interestingly, there was a comic strip in the '80s that addressed 'art robots'. 'kenny who' has his art 'sampled' and is relegated to 'resource'.
      "we don't need real artists"..

      To be fair, even without A.I., much of the Internet was becoming unusable, at least on the Google side of things. Gen Z also plays a key role in this. But A.I. is making it much worse, and much harder to even know what is real and what is wholly fake. I only use a few websites at this point. When they become unworkable, I'll likely leave the Internet. I pray things normalise, of course, but this seems unlikely under the WEF/UN globalist structure, which either controls or is in bed with Google and Meta and BlackRock, and every other company and government that controls the entire Western world, which includes the Internet. As it stands, in 2025, the top Internet websites (Google, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, RUclips, Wikipedia, etc.) are entirely controlled by these companies and are heavily driven by A.I. and/or corrupt far-Left humans.

    AI has its uses, but as consumers, we'll have to be informed of such abuses of it too. And right now, I've grown so tired of it that if I see AI imagery, or hear an AI voice I just click away. There are a few exceptions, like, I found a RUclips channel that does lore for a series I like, and he uses AI voices and imagery (the images are mostly feed your imagination, setting the vibe), but explains the lore of the series in short novelette form of videos. I imagine he feeds the lore to an AI, and it puts out a short story, but it's fairly well managed and I haven't heard any bad lore from it yet. So that is one good form of it that I've found.

    One question we need to ask is whether this is a new phenomenon or just more advanced because of bad AI art. A good example is all the misconceptions of the Middle Ages that come to us courtesy of the Victorians, such as illiteracy, lack of bathing, etc. Is the problem the same? Simple surface research, and an appeal to potential readers to make them feel good about themselves? Yes, AI allows you to do it faster without having to learn the art of puff piece writing, but the output demands of the Victorian era were different from the RUclips era. Likewise, how many Americans grew up thinking that George Washington as a child chopped down a cherry tree and admitted it?
