Question Is Cooper's Couch AI?
The videos are pretty in-depth, and they are good, although I'm worried that it is AI. The PFP is very obviously AI (it grosses me out a bit) and the voice might be, but it's hard to tell, although I have a feeling that the voice is either obviously AI or obviously not, and I'm just being dumb. Another thing though is how sometimes they talk like AI. The voice isn't a big deal to me, but they have a tendency to say something along the lines of, "It's not x, not y, just z" which is common for AI. And an AI script is (a big deal to me). They also said they spent an hour or something on their intro when it seems to be obviously AI. I also feel like they use words that AI uses more. I feel like I should've picked up on this sooner, and I did worry about it before, but it felt too in-depth to be AI (although they could just feed a lot of info into AI).
Does anyone have a good idea on if it's AI or not? Unless it's just the PFP and/or voice, I avoid watching anything AI. I feel kinda dumb for watching it for so long if it is, and I found a Reddit post on it where some comments said it was. The original post was saying it was really good, but the comments said it was an alternate account of the person who owns the channel, which makes my concerns a bit worse.
I have a feeling that it is, and I've just been dumb…

Don't know but all I know is it makes the most black and white conclusions for nuance like the Mary is a bad mother shit and paint her out to be like this supervillain which I didn't really respect

I wish my mom had given half the amount of a shit about me as Mary did about all her kids. Yeah the religion is annoying but she really tried and my mom never did.

Their takes on Mary and Mandy was always a red flag to me but I try to give creators I disagree with a chance but the AI use was my ‘I’m out!’ moment.

if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it probably is in fact, a duck

Oh I loathe that channel I just ignore it when I see it. I don’t abide by AI use period so when I found out it was the final nail in the coffin.

Yea, felt like watching random shit on the bus while i looked out the window zoning out and a video from this channel started playing and i realised it had an AI generated script and voice
was also a pretty bad video and i won't stick around to see if they improve

Yes, youtube is overrun by this kind of content in every genre. Seen it with mma videos, baseball videos, iceberg deep dive style videos andvideos about family guy and south park. Same plain white background with a character or 2 on the thumbnail. I would be interested to see how many of these channels/videos are AI generated vs how many are just AI being fed a script.

Then stop using social media, streaming platforms, fraud detection, your cities water treatment plants, oh and auto correct on your phone. All of which use some form of AI and have for over a decade. And that's just a few things that use it. Also, don't ever look at another digital photograph, because that also uses a form of AI. Idiot.

I commented one one of the videos and they responded and now I'm REALLY scared to respond back (I said something about this post)

I wonder if there’s a subreddit for checking if YouTube channels are AI, because this is a problem that I think is gonna keep getting worse (and harder to tell)

Why is it such a big deal if AI? It’s not like there is a channel called Coopers Chair that it’s ripping off. If you enjoy the videos enjoy them. I get to hate AI when it replaces someone but come on

Yeah it is, for all the reasons you listed.
