It's not LLM AI because the algorithms predate LLM's. His rant falls flat logically because before the Internet was commonplace, people watched TV as their algorithm feed. I'm old enough to remember we had maybe 5 channels total. There was ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS and one independent that ran reruns of Leave it to Beaver and Gilligan's Island. Your information about the world was only what the industry broadcast to you. Searching meant going to the library which no one ever did except for schoolwork.
It's particularly funny that he opens on an antique radio when radio was the algorithm feed before TV. Before that it was newspaper.
