Experiences and opinions about different uses of AI
« on: April 02, 2026, 04:12:26 PM »
At first, a list of currently existing AI types: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/artificial-intelligence/types-of-artificial-intelligence/

Some of them I find to be rather questionable, as they are basically used to replace human workers at corporate, and pretty much at all possible levels nowadays.

But I'll concentrate on 'generative AI, which is used for video processing in this post.

There are more and more Youtube channels, that have only AI-generated content (also called as AI slop). Some of those channels can have quite a lot of views.

Some "history" channels spew out plain false and made-up stories, with grayscale images/videos. So of course they must be authentic, right?

When there is a 'human looking host' speaking, something is missing; it can keep talking for 30 minutes or more, but it doesn't have human factors involved, like clearing throat, or change its posture.

Another sign of using AI is the use of artificial film grain, pretending that such videos have some credibility. Yes, they may make a lot of money for their creators, and that seems to be the only motive for such 'content creators'. I guess some kind of automated process is used to create them.

I've watched numerous of those videos on certain channels. Although the content and subjects may appear to be interesting, there are some kind of repetitive patterns, that I can't explain or fully understand, but which tells me that there are not a real human(s) involved in such videos.

I could make a long list here, but instead an example of another kind of videos: 3I  atlas - what a jolly good subject to create countless AI generated channels and "content". And don't ever forget to use superlatives in those video titles.

At this point, one subject, where the AI is not always successful, is to create videos of persons who then may have six fingers, or other weird glitches (especially if the 'creator' is sloppy and lacks any talent).

But enough of negative sides of AI.

The other side can be hilarious, when the videos are processed with skill. like this (they are called 'deepfakes') from 'Ctrl Shift Face' channel:

There is another channel as well, but as it's politically oriented, I think it may not be suitable to mention it here.
