"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

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.

The Death of Education~~al~~ is really the big picture that you're witnessing. Having worked in education, this isn't just AI. Even Auto-Correct and spelling correction really dumbed kids down. Reading levels are... So you switch to videos and now you get slop videos. So incorrect and potentially dangerous videos are the next bane. At this point students should have classes on how to identify AI slop.

i would argue identifying AI slop is just an extension of teaching kids critical thinking and reasoning skills

That needs to happen more than generic rudimentary testing.
