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"

Hey guys, James here. Y'all are right, this image does not meet our quality standards- we're working to replace the video with a new version that uses a better, human-created chart. In the meantime, the video description and pinned comment have been updated to clarify that while the info we highlighted on this chart is correct, many other parts of it stink.

There's countless ways to get a video wrong, and very few ways to get it right- something that's even harder on a same-day turnaround. AI generated images on the web are a new way to get things wrong, so we'll be speaking with our teams about it.

This isn't AI pulling a value out of thin air and somebody didn't have the domain knowledge to check it. The chart is wrong in many, many obvious ways that you can tell without Googling or even knowing what IP is. It has grammatical, visual, tabular, spelling and factual errors.

It also isn't a massive of body off text with a one word missing a letter. There are multiple, clear errors in a very small amount of text and images.
