    I regularly have YouTube channels on in the background as I work. After a few auto play recommendations that I wasn’t paying attention to, I ran into a couple about astronomy and I got excited for a second, because it was talking about the discovery of Planet X and other stuff… But as I paid attention to it, I recognised some blatant falsehoods, and it began to repeat itself with different verbage. It was really weird stuff too because I enjoy watching/listening to conspiracy and paranormal stuff.

    I looked at the channel description and found out it was an entirely AI content generated account/channel. I was flabbergasted.

      There are, unfortunately, tons of these these days. I usually figure it out halfway through the video and block the channel, but it wastes a lot of time. Same with the stuff Facebook recommends to me, most of it ends up being AI generated images these days.
