Скачать или смотреть History is Being Ruined by Clickbait AI Slop...

I can acknowledge that AI has legitimate uses, but there is also a lot of damage being done. Historical facts are mangled and misrepresented on an industrial scale, and frankly there is a lot of crap being made up entirely. It's worrying what this might make for the knowledge and critical thinking skills or future generations... or lack thereof.

In this video I'm going on a bit of a rant about particularly ridiculous examples I've come across on social media.
