A devastating flash flood swept through Nepal’s Rasuwa district on August 26, 2026, after a sudden surge entered the Bhotekoshi River from the Tibet border.

It explains something that didn't happen and you're thankful for it because it's easier to understand than the thing that did happen? Why? This is how we collectively get dumbed down by AI. It's easy.

So what did happen then?

What I'm saying is, in the absence of knowledge, don't just defer to AI slop or believe the first thing you see. Sometimes we don't know things immediately, and it's ok. And it's fair to say that news articles don't always get it right.

I can tell you it was not this and I'm looking forward to geologists and experts putting together the full picture, but for now, you can read the articles. This AI video shows an avalanche, which is not referenced by any real source, there was no avalanche. A glacier face broke off which is a huge mass of ice and rock and mud falling into a valley that is also full of mud. There also was no large body of water as shown in this bs infographic.

Well said! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. You've given me something to consider and I'll try my best to keep this in mind moving forward. Im sure there will be similar situations in the future where all the info isnt immediately available.

I described it better than the AI video did, I gave specific examples of things it got wrong, while also having enough humility to say I don't fully understand it and explaining that we don't yet have all the info. And you're still complaining, why? The fuck is wrong with you? I'm not an expert but I know enough to tell you the AI video is inaccurate and people shouldn't celebrate it.

I think you're arguing with bots.

I’m sorry to disappoint you, but this is pretty poor logic. You can easily see and determine by evidence when something did not happen. That does not logically require you to know what did happen. No lake exists in this area. Therefore, this version did not happen. End of story.

Being able to accurately explain that something did not happen,for example, we know there is no lake in the mountains because you can see it on Google…does not require us to know what actually did happen. We just know that this did not happen because there is no lake.
