Ray William Johnson keeps plugging Leonardo AI and I suspect that’s what he’s using for the clips in his videos. So disappointing.

Yeah, and I like AI being used for what it's good at, but using LLMs as a source of truth shows a fundamental misunderstanding of LLMs.

Not personally, and if a creator I follow did so I would unsub immediately. It’s lazy and insulting to the audience.

Anyone who cites an LLM or AI-generated summary as a legitimate source can’t be trusted to provide truthful or accurate information.

Its not forced or an concerted effort or a conspiracy to get content creators to use/promote AI.

It's laziness/simplicity.

They Google the question and screenshot the first result, which nowadays happens to be the AI-answer due to how the search engine presents the results.

Not everyone does it this way, but those that do show AI don't do it because they want to show AI specifically. It's more likely those that does differently does it because they specifically don't want to use that first option because it's AI.

Yes, everytime i go on YouTube it's one of those weird "filmed vertically" vids with yellow text that changes colour as the "person" talks and then halfway through they say a sentence which makes no sense. pure slop content

To be fair, the answer is true - popcorn is made of corn, and corn doesn't have either gliadin or glutelin, which together form what we know as gluten.

But using AI as a source is still a crime against humanity.

I see more AI generated videos or photo segments used to present something. Like a Linux related guy's thumbnails are an AI generated penguin, and a sourdough bread science girl frequently uses AI video segments

These really make me feel uneasy, although I haven't seen a similar youtuber who goes so in depth into bread science

I've noticed a lot are using AI image generation now as "filler" while they talk about certain subjects. I understand, it's a lot faster and easier to generate an image according to your instructions than trying to find it in stock images or manually photoshopping something yourself. As long as this remains limited to this, I don't really have a problem with it. But it won't.

At least cite the source that the LLM used. They give it to you. Lazy.

No, but I've sure noticed people complaining about it.

Maybe not on the main channels I tend to watch on yt, but there's one who I have pretty much completely stopped watching ( GrayStillPlays ) because I just wasn't as interested anymore. I come back one day recently to check out a Universe Sandbox video he just posted that day and the second he started asking I think it was chatgpt something about a little laser pointer, IIRC, I immediately noped out of the video.

I ain't supporting him if he's just gonna use an "AI" LLM to get the info he wants. I could at least, before LLMs became the big bubble they are, look past him just casually asking g••gle using the shitty voice assistant thing because it's whatever, but can't for "AI" LLMs.

Is this supposed to be a joke post?

Yes, I also have the internet. I don't know if you're going crazy or not, but it's a strong trend, yes.
