All of those are clearly AI-generated. You shouldn’t trust any “edutainment” videos made that way, chances are there has been zero fact-checking and that the creator hasn’t even watched the result of their slop.

This is a great topic. Lets say for a second the information is factual, then are these AI videos good? Sometimes I see these AI videos that tackle more obscure topics that are still interesting. These topics may have been monetarily prohibitive to do. Maybe too risky or getting all the animation and content too costly for the payout. But now with AI, all the data can be easily gathered.

Now lets talk about factuality. A human creator can just as easily lie or not fact-check all their sources. But if they do decide to fact-check, wouldn't it be easier to just task the AI to fact check. Simply tell it, "leave out any data that has not been fact checked and mapped back to a reliable source."

Not "as easily". A human creator can make a video without fact checking anything, but people using AI can push out thousands of bullshit videos in the same amount of time.

The human creator also actually sees the content they put into their video and can catch the most obvious errors that don't even require fact checking. Humans using AI can just keep spewing out slop as fast as possible without having any idea of what any of the videos actually contain.
