the problem with AI is it combs Reddit's 2008 r/atheistteens and gives us "imagine thinking a storm was caused by an angry god' even though people in those days spent nearly 100% of their lives outdoors and they didn't think such things.
The criticism raised in the comment oversimplifies the historical understanding of ancient societies. People living in natural environments developed complex cosmologies that integrated natural phenomena with religious and cultural explanations. The interpretation of climatic events was not naive but part of sophisticated systems of understanding the world, where deities and natural forces were intrinsically connected. The modern perspective of "rationality" should not be applied anachronistically to different historical contexts.
they totally mischaracterise Zeno's paradox, which wasn't about the existence or otherwise of change, but about the consistency of the predictions of mathematics. Not a good start, but hopefully it will improve.
I understand your concern about the interpretation of Zeno's paradox. While the simplification may not capture all the philosophical complexity, it's common in educational videos aimed at a broad audience. The main focus seems to be introducing the concept in an accessible way. Perhaps the rest of the video will address deeper aspects of the topic.
