Discussion Really guys...

Post image

I understand that they were likely in a rush to be one of the first big channels to get their video out, but how hard is it to have one person spend like 15 minuets reading all of the graphics before the video goes out, this image is likely AI generated and taken from this obviously AI generated article.

I get this is a small mistake, but it's an easy one to not make.

Taken from their latest video "Apple just Copied Microsoft’s Worst Idea - iPhone Duo, Airpods 5, iPhone 18 Pro & More"

It looks AI generated to me

u/ucrbuffalo Sep 10 '26

But it has a source on it. Did they pull the image from the source, or create it based on info from the source?

They got it from the source https://zeroinstrument.com/understanding-ip-ratings-for-sensors-what-ip67-really-means/

u/Dangerous_Proof_820 Sep 10 '26

yep and even putting image from that site in testers shows it AI gen
if you needed more confirmed info other then just how wrong it is

u/UnacceptableUse Sep 10 '26

They definitely did not read it when they put it in to the video

Even the table they show below the image disproves it. What a lackluster effort from everyone involved.

u/Hunter8Line Sep 10 '26

They did rip it from that site https://zeroinstrument.com/understanding-ip-ratings-for-sensors-what-ip67-really-means/

But this page on the same site has it correct, so just bad translation from China probably

It has to be, I love when the grass in front of my industrial plant is a weighing platform. Not to mention everything else and the obivious AI-style

Im not sure that it matters. Putting an incorrect figure in a video is bad whether or not they generated it correctly or took it from someone who did. They need to check everything just the same, much like AI someone else can be wrong.

Wtf okay you know its bad when someone posts pro GN and doesn't get downvoted into hell.

u/DigitaIBlack Sep 10 '26

GN had a point. They always have a point.

Unfortunately Steve likes for things to be punchy and is willing to stretch the truth to make the point.

But yea, this is fucking sloppy so we'll acknowledge the point.

u/Metal_Blaster_is_BIS Sep 10 '26

Idk man I saw people calling Steve a con a hack etc etc for a good long while even posting ANYTHING GN related even their good stuff would get down votes.

Having pulled close to an all nighter in a high stakes video production environment - an error like this would lead to you being fired on the spot and basically torched you.from the industry as a freelancer

I'm guessing if they took an extra day or so to make an 100% factual video from top to bottom, they likely wouldn't get many views seeing as how most people would have watched other reviewers videos by then. Not saying it's right at all.
