If I'm talking to a non-educated (in the subject matter) audience, I'll often aim for "correct enough" and people saying "well actually" is super annoying and confusing to everyone involved. There is always more to learn, and you can always go deeper into a subject, that doesn't mean everyone around you wants to go down that rabbit hole too; like 'cool flex bro.'
- lazide 3y agoAs a counterpoint, the number of folks teaching ‘accessible’ information that sounds good, and may even be plausibly kinda correct - but is actually harmful to understanding what is actually happening. Or ancient aliens (as a ‘theory’). Which is rife.
- withinboredom 3y agoIs that a thing? I kinda want to search for it ... but if I'm not seeing any ancient alien shenanigans, I want to keep it that way.
- lazide 3y agoThe AI generated content on YouTube is often 80% right, as is human generated by some channels, and sounds very plausible (and is sometimes very hard to identify!) - but is presenting hallucinated facts as reality for the other 20%. Quite convincingly too. It’s in almost all topics now, from the Ukraine War to cooking. And ancient aliens type stuff is all over the place - UFOs, pyramids, gov’t conspiracies of various forms, etc. Not just YouTube of course, but very visible there.
