This is not unique to aviation: you see it with all kinds of topics on YouTube, all eras of history, science, etc. Actually, the science animation channel Kurzgesagt just recently made a video about this called AI Slop is Destroying the Internet.

It is unfortunately a product of our time.

Another thing I see a lot, more or less daily, on history boards on social media (especially Facebook) is someone using AI to "fact-find" history. AI is terrible when it comes to even rudimentary historical research and I would not recommend using it for historical research outside of testing purposes, or without heavy manual fact-checking of the results. Personally I more or less use AI only for complex calculations.

I avoid AI for everything. It is learning to be better but there is so much crap produced by it that I do not trust it for anything because, short of verifying its output with old fashioned methods, you cannot trust anything it produces.

I have tried it for correcting pages that have been photographed without being held flat. The output is infinitely worse than the original.

I've seen at least 2 YT history channels that have prominent "No AI" emblems. Promising.

The very few sites I have been to that have obviously AI crap have the dislike button disabled so if I go to a site where the first image is suspect I just click on dislike. If the dislike is not registered then I go elsewhere.

Don't click the "dislike". It counts the same as a "like" as far as The Algorithm cares, I think. Don't watch it at all.

As soon as the site is opened it registers as you viewed it but likes do not increase when clicking dislike - I check each time.
