> Gotta disagree. I've found several great new YouTube channels that clearly use ai for everything but the script writing. I assume it's an enthusiastic and smart niche expert who lacks the charisma to make videos in addition to doing the research. In very glad ai is filling in those people's weak spots.

But why are you glad? There's no intrinsic right to be popular on YouTube, or to be successful. There's also no lack of YouTubers making interesting videos. Why not let a "natural selection" of sorts weed out these people who lack the charisma or whatever to make videos without AI?
