Countless AI slop channels are relentlessly copying our work. So one day we decided: enough is enough. We went undercover to investigate who’s behind them and what this flood of AI slop means for the future of educational content on YouTube.

    Thanks! So @DupaCycki@lemmy.world said

    It’s blatant misinformation based on false data

    Your link says Kurzgesagt

    • should be more transparent about their funding (see e.g. the strawman section)
    • shouldn’t rely on science funded by billionaire philanthropists and big pharma
    • shouldn’t rely on purely Western data sources

    Those are very different statements. In particular, your link says that the science and data can be completely correct, but that by obscuring conflicts of interest they reduce credibility, and by using Western data sources and scientists, their perspective is skewed.

    It can all be good and credible science, but it’s science from a single perspective.

    It’s an interesting discussion, but it doesn’t support the point that this should be disinformation or based on false data. It supports a much more moderate point that it represents a limited worldview, I’d say.
