| > Video is linear and demands a fixed time commitment I recently saw that YouTube allows you to “chat” with videos through AI and can surface random content from the middle of the video if you ask it to. |

| That's neat, but now it's almost as if YouTube is encouraging people not to watch videos, but to just make AI give you the cliff notes. |

I found myself actually watching more videos now, not less, because I know I don't have to listen to them for 10 minutes and waste my time when they don't get to the point. | | |
