The Generation That Wasn't Allowed to Cry, Psychology of Baby Boomers

16. Please delete this AI slop, which is likely from a foreign content farm. That channel was set up late

last month and already has 14 of these roughly half-hour videos that are pure clickbait. If anyone involved in making these videos had any expertise at all in psychology, sociology or history, you'd see those credits given.

There are lots of worthwhile videos and books from real people with real credentials. Whoever is making the videos at that channel is just a scammer, or group of scammers, using AI. Which in itself is a very unethical thing to do, since those generative AI tools are trained on stolen intellectual property.

Here's a link to a thread I posted last month on these sorts of videos:

What we are witnessing with channels like Senior Secrets is the work of content farms, likely based in Vietnam. Sitting in front of dozens of computers are people with no formal training in science or medicine who write prompts for generative AI platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini. The AI creates scripts, animations, thumbnails, voiceover narration, fake scientific papers; and these made-up elements are mashed together in a video that gets uploaded to YouTube.

If you read the article I linked to there, you'll see more on how these clickbait videos from content farms try to hide their origin.

The YouTube channel where you got that video didn't even go to that much effort. It just throws out bland generalities that some people might relate to.

But there's no expertise behind it. There may be no personal experience behind it. It's just AI-generated clickbait.

Again, you can find lots of real videos and books from real experts. Though unfortunately, thanks to AI and how easy it is to generate slop, there are lots of garbage AI-generated books flooding platforms like Kindle, offering fake expertise, from AI users who in some cases are uploading multiple books a day.

Your safest bet, in addition to looking for real credits for real people and organizations, is to look for videos and books more than a few years old, so they won't have used AI to create fakes like this.
