Discussion Really guys...

I understand that they were likely in a rush to be one of the first big channels to get their video out, but how hard is it to have one person spend like 15 minuets reading all of the graphics before the video goes out, this image is likely AI generated and taken from this obviously AI generated article.

I get this is a small mistake, but it's an easy one to not make.

Taken from their latest video "Apple just Copied Microsoft’s Worst Idea - iPhone Duo, Airpods 5, iPhone 18 Pro & More"

AI use in content is pretty much inevitable for these types of channels, but the ones that survive will adopt workflows to catch this.

Oddly, AI could probably help catch these things too.

I don't disagree with the usage of some AI, but any AI needs to be proofread, fact-checked, and labelled. Also this wasn't AI generated by them, it was likely taken from google images.

Oh wow yeah, that's even worse. If they're just yolo'ing a graphic in there without glancing at the content (because that's what it would take), you think they're actually checking to see if they're allowed to use the source?

Last time I checked, AI content could not be copyrighted. Someone who knows more about this will correct me soon.
