Found out very quickly, and, the hard way— how much b.s. is created with AI to hook clicks on youtub. Not clever enough to hook someone with real history knowledge, particularly military history (as in WWI and WWII/US Naval History), but clever enough to publish “new” research revealing recently unearthed letters. For example:
Truman takes over from FDR and has discovered in the WH FDR private letters not archived in the National Archives (locked in a box, and found, etc.) revealing.... FDR’s real thoughts about.... you name it (Churchill, Hitler, Jews, Nazis.... etc.).
Absolute repetitive needlessly wordy and time consuming (relating to the monetization created by the length of the video... drag it out forever and say the same stupid things over and over in different ways. And all complete fabrication.)
The answer to not getting hooked should one be foolish enough to click on this BS (named sites: WW2 truths, WW2 Vault, WW2 secrets, WW2 Shadow Tales, and by far the worst— The Black Record (what a joke of site, utter bullcrap)-— the answer if you click on such is, before listening or watching one second of the potential fabrication-— read the comments. AI shows up very quickly, and often stating when the crap starts.
Just a suggestion. Longing for the day when AI could ever mean.... ACTUAL intelligence. Not fabricated worse than fake news.
The other day his feed served him up something about a mom who was facing the death penalty for shooting an armed intruder who had been trying to break into her child's room.
It did not sound right to either of us so we grabbed what few facts were included and did some light research.
True story was bad enough, guy with mental problems did break into her home, he was armed, she was also armed and in her child's room. She warned him to leave and he did. There was some other stuff about how the police arrested him then promptly let him go only to pick him up again on a unrelated violation. The usual "they need treatment, not punishment" bs.
So the first part real. The rest of it, her shooting him (something that I would have whole heartedly supported her doing) prosecutor seeking death penalty total nonsense.
And yeah I understand the "click bait" bit but this one just seemed weird. Almost like it was meant to push something or to see what kind of reaction this kind of story would get.
Anyway. Don't believe everything you see. Or read.
