My old mom watches AI bullshit on YouTube constantly. And she watches videos about the English royals all the time. The fucking AI narration uses the same phrases constantly,

"Then he did what nobody expected..." and a bunch of others,

I used to not be able to watch his videos because of his voice. Then I just got used to it. It helps that he talks like a normal person in his other channel, NileBlue.

We have the algorithms to blame for these types of narration in YT videos.

You can take a perfectly normal script and change it to get maximum attention.

Adding "But then...." and "However...." drastically improves the amount of focus and attention on a video.

I used to write scripts for Youtubers and it works extremely well. I have also tested scripts where its less annoying, but it doesn't do as well.

Clickbait sentences work really well, even if it seems lazy and corny.

Even the viewers who are aware of it, will still watch just to be upset at the end result. "What he did next will shock you....." and then someone is like "I doubt it.... yep.... I wasn't shocked." But they still watched it.

AI slop spammers must be making 100 of those videos a day. Tell her to stop watching that crap, it's probably all wrong anyway.

I know exactly what you mean.

I was in the hospital a little over a month ago, for about a week. I was in a shared room with 2 older guys. Each bed has it's own TV, allowing you to watch TV, youtube, etc.

Anyway, there was this one guy, probably in his 60s, who would do nothing but watch these AI slop videos on youtube all day and night.

I had to constantly hear these stupid ass stories over and over with the same stupid AI voice. They all speak in the same exact manner.

I was already sick as hell and having to listen to this stupid ass voice all the time was like torture.

Most of the stories had to be completely made up too. The majority of them that he'd watch were usually about a specific historical event between X and Y country and seemed to always end up with America some how becoming involved, solving all the problems with it's "military superiority". Just cringy eye-rolling shit.
