The End of Informational Content?

Did AI kill YouTube?

Made by ChatGPT.

A few weeks (months?) ago, Tim Urban wrote that he downloaded a YouTube video transcript and pasted it into ChatGPT instead of watching the whole thing for research purposes.

I don’t watch YouTube and I usually directly ask ChatGPT or Perplexity for information, but I came to need to learn how to do Facebook ads recently and YouTube was the only option.

So I watched one hour and fourteen minutes of Ben Heath and let’s say that the amount of info that I learned wasn’t worth the time I had spent watching this video.

So I did what Tim advised: I downloaded a bunch of transcripts and pasted them into ChatGPT.

Boom.

9999999999% gain in time. And I can still ask ChatGPT questions based on the transcripts if I want to.

While I still enjoy reading long pieces like Musk sabotaging his life and businesses or the decrease of general intelligence at the world population level, media consumption for research purposes (or to put it simply, everything that isn’t entertainment) is done for, concisely summarized by AIs, and soon, created by them entirely.
