AI Bucket List fulfilled. Already bored with AI.

Are AI videos factual if the voice and graphics are synthesized? They mispronounce, they blend time periods. Some of them are barely videos, long stretches of narration focus on one still shot. The narration isn't consistent. Democratic Underground could be presented as Democratic Underground, Demo Kratique Underground, or our old favorite Democrat under ground.

Furthermore the various AI have different personalities so to speak. Some are friendly, others factual, others researchful.

YouTube deserves honorable mention. Allowing other videos to be sliced and diced into your own narration and graphics, narrating old books as current content.

This is a cesspool. I've vowed to myself to spend less time online, and less on AI. Reality beckons, and it requires my attention.

People are calling CGI “AI” now. Or calling tech “AI”. They are CGI and tech, respectively. Not AI.

There is no technology in the world today that is remotely close to “intelligent”. We need to stop repeating the hucksterism of tech bros.
