I remember several years back there was what I can only describe as a moral panic about "machine intelligence-driven", "automated" YouTube videos for children. The idea was that there were myriad channels using AI to pump out low-quality content, and that much of this content was bizarre and completely inappropriate for children.
I was interested in the process of how someone could use AI to create content and, as is probably obvious with the perspective of hindsight, I could find no real examples of channels exploiting automated, machine-learning production.
This is the article that seems to have kicked off the trend but does not actually have any examples of automation: https://medium.com/@jamesbridle/something-is-wrong-on-the-internet-c39c471271d2 https://medium.com/@jamesbridle/something-is-wrong-on-the-in...
