4 AI-generated videos have been posted this month. No, make that 5. Another was just posted. So easy for AI users to generate AI art and scripts.
There are some messages in the YouTube comments pointing out these are AI and have errors, as you'll see if you skim through the comments on the oldest video there - the one starting "What really caused..." that was posted on July 1. Some of the comments below, in italics.
I'm not sure why but you have Venezuela marked on the map where Mexico is supposed to be. Venezuela is in South America not North America
AI video is totally unrelated to subject matter. Agravating
WHY is the quality of this video SOOOOO BAD???? Whatever HUMAN is tasked with passing this video, missed Venezuela being pointed in CENTRAL AMERICA! That's just ONE egregious error. There were a bunch. The Caribbean Plate is NOT moving EAST. It is moving NORTH WEST. I HATE AI. The inaccuracies are legion.
Who would have thought that AI generated content would be so terrible at spelling. 2022 can't do hands. 2026 can't spell "structures"
Just another AI generated crap
And there's a very typically sycophantic chatbot-generated reply to the only comment posted so far on the second-newest video, about an Alaska quake: 1964 Alaska Earthquake: One Neighborhood Slid Away, One Forest Never Fell. This is what the channel owner responded with, using AI:
This genuinely stopped me while reading comments. Thank you so much for sharing this — your brother-in-law's memory of the grass rolling like ocean waves is one of the most vivid, human descriptions of that earthquake I've ever come across. No seismograph reading or magnitude number can capture what he felt clinging to that ground, not knowing if it would ever stop.
And the fact that whole towns were simply swallowed — coastlines rewritten in minutes — he was right that the human mind isn't built to process that kind of "before and after." It breaks the brain a little.
But what really got me was your last line. The fact that you thought to ask him, that you sat with him and listened, and now his story lives here in this comment for thousands of people to read — that's something truly special. He may be gone, but what he witnessed and what he told you just reached people all over the world.
Thank you for honoring his memory this way. Comments like yours are exactly why I make these videos. 🙏
The two references to
humans - human descriptions and the human mind - are interesting, coming from a bot.
Anyway, there are YouTube channels that are good sources of information on earthquakes. But a brand-new AI-generated channel producing a new video every day, with errors, isn't one of them.
It's especially important now to check and make sure that real people with real expertise are creating the videos.
