8. The more AI generated crap that's pushed, the less credible any videos like this will be.

Generative AI is a rot.

Personally, I don't watch any news or opinion video. Television has always been a better medium for propaganda than it is the truth.

There's something about television that bypasses critical thinking skills, even in people who believe they have strong critical thinking skills.

I suppose one reason is that while reading one can easily pause to fully consider each word, sentence, and paragraph. We can easily "rewind" our reading if something is not clear.

It's unusual for people to watch videos in the same manner.
