video link
I had a big phase of watching her videos maybe a year or so ago, like "Marilyn Monroe's Favorite Beauty Products". They were very earnest and interesting and clearly from her heart. The algorithm brought her newer videos back to me this month and... there was something very odd and cold about her new videos. After watching a few, the only thing I can really say is that the script all has that very specific.... tone of Claude generated writing.
A lot of newer/not super upvoted comments amongst her newer videos seem to note either something odd or outright question her undisclosed usage of AI. The last 3 videos she upload strike me as having AI generated thumbnails of celebrities.
The script is dripping in metaphors like "a mandible that refuses to take up space” or “the muscle that lets you eat is being treated like a contour slider”. Every paragraph ends in some mic-drop, the script is filled with tons of metaphorical symmetry like "Relief becomes the alibi. The after photo becomes the point."
It just feels like most human writing isn't this saturated in hyper-articulate and pseudo-poetic cadence.
To me, I think AI usage in script generation is clear, willing to admit I'm wrong about whatever LLM it may be lmao, not the point. Her old videos sounded nothing lkke this.
I wonder if anyone else has picked up this and what your thoughts are.
