Dramatic uptick in WWII aviation related AI slop videos on youtube? (1 Viewer)

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.
