Countless AI slop channels are relentlessly copying our work. So one day we decided: enough is enough. We went undercover to investigate who’s behind them and what this flood of AI slop means for the future of educational content on YouTube.

    Coco melon, tablet generation, COVID interrupted, influencer culture, AI highschool…

    …and I still feel like this generation will turn out fine. This generation seems highly socially connected. They can find out pretty much anything they want, and there are hobbies galore.

    Each generation shits on the previous generation, and eats up media claiming they’re a broken generation… But things don’t have to be that way.

      This generation seems highly socially connected.

      Actually average number of friends of a young person has never been lower.

      They can find out pretty much anything they wan

      AI worsens ability to search, read through, and evaluate large quantities of info;

      since people don’t practice that skill anymore, and trust AI to find the most accurate up-to-date info.

      and I still feel like this generation will turn out fine.

      Looking at the burning planet, wars, and democratic backsliding - we would be lucky if this generation is not the last one.

        Haha I don’t think we’re quite at “the end of the world and humanity” just yet.

            Geez, you think you and stochastic parrots are pretty important don’t you. Sorry our conversation isn’t that important to me.

            It’s a crappy technology being fueled by billionaires who care more about money than the environment or people.

            You know who you sound like? Mark Zuckerberg talking about the Metaverse.

      Ah yes. People are developing schitzoid psychosis from chatbot addiction but somehow this generation will turn out “just fine” seriously 🙄?? You think people are going to be okay from this? This is different than anything anyone has gone through before.

        Yawn. Sure right, reefeer madness will take over society because 1950s society said so. The hippies will kill everyone because the media said so. Mass psychosis from violent video games. Wow, everyone’s addicted to porn guess it’s the end of the world again!

        …and now “AI Psychosis” has destroyed a whole population!

        A small segment of society prone to skitzoid addiction has alway existed, every generation, and every generation as a whole has always pulled through just fine. Pretending it’s the end of the world (like you’re doing) has also ALWAYS happened.

        The truth is: We’ve seen aspects of all of this throughout time. Hell, Socrates believed written plays rather than memorization would ruin people. You’re playing a very old role.
