#YouTube ist eine Quelle, aus der sich vor allem junge Menschen über #Wissenschaft informieren. Leider wird diese Plattform von #ScienceScam, irreführenden oder falschen, "Wissenschafts"-Videos überschwemmt. Ihr Geschäftsmodell gleicht dem der #BILD: Mit #Sensationen ködern, hohe Zugriffszahlen genieren, Werbeeinnahmen abgreifen, Wahrheitsgehalt irrelevant. Das alte Problem werbefinanzierten Plattformen - seriöse Kanäle gehen in der Flut der #Desinformation unter. -> 1/2

the first one showed up in my recommendations, I was thinking "yeah, classic clickbait, but lets give it a try". The video is mediocre at best but the AI voice pretty good. I can't stand robotic voices reading bit this one was so good I didn't really thought about it being one.

The second ones voice was "odd" but the fact that the borg are such a complex theme gave it away, it was just chatGPT word soup. Someone pasted some text into chatGPT and said "rephrase".
