    To be fair to the AI slop detector, Kurzgesagt is pretty close to slop…

    of course in part because AI slop copies their content/style a lot, but imo that’s because the content lends itself to that. Cute cartoon to give you pretty colors to look at plus voiceover superficially discussing a topic is right up AI’s alley.

    not that this is ok of google, and it’s yet another in a long series of things that show that youtube does not care about its workforce at all.
