of garbage is all over YouTube now. AI slop art in different styles, fake expertise, AI narration in a variety of fake voices, and videos cobbled together by AI and posted every day or two. This channel uploaded 7 videos between Dec. 11 and Dec. 20. Some of these AI channels soon start posting multiple videos a day as they get their formula down pat and figure out which clickbait works best. There's no real expertise here and some of these channels are from foreign content farms, not the US. This one is requesting donations through Buy Me A Coffee.

They're AI graphics. No Black people, either. Imagine, no Black people in a video ostensibly about the 60s. AI slop. WhiskeyGrinder Dec 28 #9

So the message lacks legitimacy? OAITW r.2.0 Dec 28 #15

This video describes fairly universal themes through a lens that makes "60s kids" feel unique -- which is catnip for just WhiskeyGrinder Dec 28 #21
