His fanbase reaction is completely justified: I mean if all he does now is read out loud LLM output then the natural conclusion is "what's the point of listening to him - I may just as well ask Grok or ChatGPT myself".AI basically took his job and "youtube science guy" was too dumb to realize it.
I don't know why he was so retarded to keep trickling out more and more info about how he uses AI in each subsequent explanation/statement. It started as just "gathering sources." obviously nobody is going to believe you about not using it for scripts now.I never liked this faggot anyway so I really don't care
I've always thought most normies are morons that believe in consensus, but the more this happens the more I realize the problem isn't that I see AI as speed book reporting the internet, it's that supposedly smart people think this is intelligence.
>>17030954AI won, get over it.
>>17030954where was his original admission, nobody fucking posts it. it's all just "the horror" drama.
>>17030954His honesty is respectable. Most influencers will use AI without disclosing it
>>17030954This guy's channel has always been shit.Every time I ever watch one of his videos, it feels like it's just "hey I heard about this common knowledge thing for the first time in my entire life a week ago, then I did a very small amount of surface research, and now I'm going to pretend I think it's the most important and amazing thing in the universe, then I will never think about it again after this video for the rest of my life"I guess what I'm saying is that he feels extremely phony. With other "educational" youtubers like numberpedos or veritasium it at least feels like they legitimately care about their stupid niche autism
it certainly explains why all of "his" takes are so reddit, since they were just being assembled from LLMs scraping various subreddits
>>17030954He's a leftistHis fan base is a leftist fanbaseSo you get the leftist reaction
>>17031039Cope, the guy had even gayer and more Reddit opinions before LLMs became a big thing.
>>17030954bro this has been all i read or engage with for a whilethe really good ones have just used ai to chop up various conversations and use their words verbatim as off timings so it isn't too annoyingly punchy
I think it is a good thing. I have no ill will towards the guy but being a pointless 'fact' accumulator is now completely outsourced to LLMs, and it can finally stop being seen as intelligence. I didn't expect him to be a big figure who really was in the way of this false preconception to be honest.
>celebrity influencer who has already made it financially and in terms of legacy willingly becomes the mouthpiece of demonic forces out of the sick fear of falling into irrelevancyconsider this a preview of what will happen to humanity in the decades to come
>>17031041>Cope, the guy had even gayer and more Reddit opinions before LLMs became a big thing.>the reddit egregore has started feeding on itself
>>17030954so what, most of these youtubers were just regurgitating wikipedia before LLMs became popular.their content has never been necessary.
>>17031228Regurgitating wiki entries still forces you to make some choices in terms of framing and interpretation. So there are moments where there's still a 'person' shining through.For normies who mediate their own thinking through these kinds of mouthpieces, those moments are the guideposts out of the labyrinth, and that disappears entirely once all they consume is AI slop.
People only pretend to give a shit about any of this because Musk and Altman and the rest flipped to Trump. How much anti-AI philosophy or whatever did you ever hear about before 2024?And if the philosophy is therefore secondary to the petty electoral politics, then the philosophy might be bullshit.
>>17031234>How much anti-AI philosophy or whatever did you ever hear about before 2024?You're half-right. Pre-Trump 2.0 OAI and Anthropic did a lot more signalling in the direction of progressive ideological conformity ('model bias', muh toxic stereotypes, harmful outputs), and there was more criticism of 'AI propaganda' coming from right-wing spaces.Now that the right is using AI as *their* propaganda tool, the left is picking up those same arguments. As usual, you want to look to the people who have been consistent in their AI-critical views across time.
>>17030954Isn't he the cuck or was that his brother?
>>17031241>there was more criticism of 'AI propaganda' coming from right-wing spaces.I don't remember that.>Now that the right is using AI as *their* propaganda tool, the left is picking up those same arguments."no u"
>>17031243I believe one (or both) of them is gay.Or "bisexual'.Which is gay.
>>17031247Right wingers used to complain about AIjeets
>>17031247> don't remember that.you lot memory hole everything that doesn't fit your narrative, and pretend to be "fatigued" of facts when they get in the way of "winning".Epstein files, listeria ham, "too old to be president" arguments...
>>17030954>what's the point of listening to him - I may just as well ask Grok or ChatGPT myselfRetarded conclusion.Knowing the right questions to ask is also part of his job and you inherently can't delegate to AI the job of asking the questions Hank Green wants you to know.
>>17032504You have clearly never seen his videos.He makes clips about inconsequential crap like "why is the sky blue", contents of which you forget in a few days.
>>17031018What happened and what video are you referring to?
