The range of videos may be interesting, and it's currently open via MPV and buffering to "run ahead" before I watch, but there's no chance I'm letting this pollute my YouTube watch history or recommendations.
It's a ~5 month old channel with videos every day with the exact same art style, all obviously AI generated. There's no chance anyone can do any kind of reasonable background research, art, voice-over, editing, etc, unless the majority of the work is AI. And I'm not going to reward that with YouTube views and ad money, because I do not want YouTube to become exclusively slop.
People cannot compete with this kind of low-effort video, but if we keep sharing it, it'll eventually out-compete human creators, and effectively drive them to extinction on YouTube.
EDIT #1 - Beyond the weird pauses in between dialogue segments, the AI even talks under itself (around 7:50). I've been recommended this channel before by YouTube, and get the impression I made the right call with "Don't recommend this channel", even if the questions are entertaining.
Wow you weren't kidding, it's the definition of AI slop. I even got an AI slop ad for some weird cruise diet with a song about how italian woman eat 2x as much food as everyone else yet still look...

A nice video about the aquatic microgreens duckweed.
I remember looking this up a few years ago when I was trying to figure out how I could feed myself indefinitely if I needed to. I remember thinking wolffia globosa seemed like the best option because they were just tiny beads with no leaves or roots to process.
The idea of using this stuff as a staple food might not be worth it economically, but I think this could be a good option for vertical farming if we ever wanted to try making a settlement on the moon or space.
Did you ever look into aquaponics? Duckweed, potentially, can figure prominently into that cycle, while providing you much nicer variety of fish, fruits and veggies to eat. More work, too, of...
Did you ever look into aquaponics? Duckweed, potentially, can figure prominently into that cycle, while providing you much nicer variety of fish, fruits and veggies to eat. More work, too, of course, but still a fascinating process.

One of the difficulties of using wolffia as a food source is that it just soaks up whatever is in its water, unlike other plants where the root system acts as a natual filter that captures lots of stuff in the water we might not want to eat, like metals or pollutants.
In the case of aquaponics, I dont know if youd need to go through extra steps to make sure that the fish poop is safe to include without contaminating the end product.
Just at a glance, I saw the same critique for duckweed -- whatever's in the water, ends up in your food, and generally more concentrated. Aquaponics actually has a 3-stage process, where there is...
Just at a glance, I saw the same critique for duckweed -- whatever's in the water, ends up in your food, and generally more concentrated.
Aquaponics actually has a 3-stage process, where there is a microscopic bacterial filtration/conversion process going on, converting "raw" fish waste into food for the plants.
I've done a few small "proof of concept" aquaponics set-ups, but never anything like a full-scale production system. My guess is that, you want to avoid getting the water on the plants, keeping it available only to the root system -- plus common-sense "wash your food" advice ... but beyond that, it isn't like the plants' roots will suck fish-poop-poison into your tomatoes.
That is, apart from the same concern about wolffia and duckweed sucking up poisons and pollutants out of the water they grow in ... then you feed that to your fish, etc ... you want to maintain unpolluted stocks at every stage. But I don't believe the fish poop itself introduces added risk (...?).

Please add “AI generated” or some other such indicator to the tags. for better filtering.
I added the artificial intelligence tag, there doesnt seem to be one for "AI generated" when I type that in.
You don't need to use existing tags you can just create it

Definitely read "if dickweed doubles. . . " and I thought Damn, I haven't heard somebody refer to another as a dickweed is over 30 years!
