My wife watches cooking and food videos on youtube, and has for years. Recently I've been amazed at all of the AI videos that are popping up. Mostly related to nostalgia (how gramma was able to prepare chicken stew on a cold winters night for her poor family...). I can see why it would be cost effective to create these videos. I cannot get past the voices though. They really sound off, but I can't put my finger on it. I bug her about "selling out" by watching these AI videos and her response is "How the hell am I supposed to tell which is which?!".

    Even videos with people in them are becoming ai slop. So I sympathies with her on not knowing.

    One of the artists I watch meat canyon has writers that makes scripts (on his second channel that focuses on talking about random topics) and one of them was using Ai to write the script for them.

    I still watch that person it's not the biggest deal to me. Theres bigger fish to fry, and we are all human. Worlds not black and white. What's a bigger deal to me is I'll often watch history videos to fall asleep to, and its sooooo hard to find a channel that's not just 100% ai generated from like start to finish. Including pictures. Its like history is getting rewritten from this foggy/fuzzy inaccurate lenses. Kids in the future are going to see a ai generated image of 1800's new York where a man is using a tablet, and think its true.
