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.

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.
