Perhaps I am wrong, but the videos on this channel seem to have scripts that seem like they are very much AI written.

I watched this video a week or so ago, and a few more on the channel because they were promising to answer other interesting questions (interesting for me at least).

However, it seemed like there was something off with all the content. The best explanation I have for it is that it is AI generated scripts (I recall a real lack of coherence in the video about which side you put the fuel door on a car), so I just stopped watching.

I'd be curious if anyone else has a similar feeling or a better way of expressing it, because I am not feeling very eloquent here.

I've no inclination to click through to the video, but there are undoubtedly many youtube channels that use AI generated scripts spoken by AI generated voices in order to try and make a quick buck, following the advice of many "make-money-fast" videos on youtube, a substantial portion of which, no doubt, are themselves read by AI voices from AI generated scripts.

Whenever I encounter one in my recommends I use the "do not recommend from this channel" option, but I'm clearly fighting a losing battle.

Just one of the many reasons I think AI generated content should be required by law to be marked as such, and passing it off as human produced should be proscribed. When we drown in a sea of slop at least it will be clearly labeled.
