I guess it depends on how much you do your homework. I just spent a while listening to Satya Nadella regurgitate self-congratulatory CEO-speak just to verify that yes, indeed, this link is gargbage. I feel entitled to at least a bit of resentment for that.

Ironically, the time I spent doing this was much shorter because the podcast that originates the blatant misquote has an AI-generated searchable transcript.

    Even more ironically, you could probably shorten that time even more by having an AI analyze the transcript for you.

    I've found Firefox's Orbit extension to be quite handy whenever someone directs me to a 30-minute Youtube video as "proving" whatever point they're trying to argue. I can pop it open and ask it to tell me what the video says about that point in just a few seconds. I wouldn't use the AI summary as backing if I was doing surgery on someone, but for a random Internet argument it's fine.
