There are lots of AI generated videos on YouTube, some of which are just clickbait and absolutely rubbish.
As a way of countering this I try to only watch videos from trusted sources. Even then, be sure this is genuine! Sadly, in this time, it is getting increasingly hard to separate fact from AI generated rubbish.
I urge everyone to view everything with a degree of uncertainty. I always advise getting news from multiple sources. What one outlet says may often be biased.
It is sad that what you view these days may not be true.
Using AI videos supposedly by a famous person may not be by this person at all! This is why I never trust a channel I don't know to be genuine as there are a lot of fakes around.
People can make lots of money by visits to their sites, even if the contents are a load of rubbish.
On Monday nights at 8pm, the RSGB gives a series of talks with people expert in their field.
I have seen some, but manage to miss quite a few.
Some are talks at past RSGB conventions. Many (all?) have to be watched on YouTube.
In recent years, YouTube has migrated to the TV screen. I guess there are now millions of things to entice us including some full length films and some historical recreations made using AI. Some of these are very good.
Unless you can be absolutely sure of origins, it is now safer to assume it is made using AI and very well might be untrue.
Many YouTube items are clickbait. The creator gets paid by clicks on the content. Often the voice is created using AI.
Caveat emptor.
Just a few years ago most had never heard of AI (artificial intelligence). Now it is everywhere: you look, for example, on YouTube as you see a well known person. The chances are this is created using AI. These days many, if not most, of the things you see on YouTube are AI creations created so the creator gets money from adverts when the video is viewed.
Sadly, you have to assume it is AI unless you can be absolutely sure it is not. There are very few sites I now trust.
At one time I enjoyed YouTube, but sadly you no longer can be sure that anything is real.
I watched a very long video supposed to be by Brian Cox. It was clearly not by Brian Cox. Last week I watched a video that was meant to be the thoughts of Einstein.
The message is clear: you cannot know what is real and what is AI. The only thing you can do is assume everything is generated by AI unless you can be absolutely certain of the source.
Most days I try to watch TimesRadio on YouTube. I find watching these most informative. They tend to interview lots of different people who have views on the international affairs.
If you look on YouTube you could believe anything.
Many of the videos are now created using AI, so the only thing you can be sure of is "this could be incorrect". It is getting harder and harder to tell what is real and what is fake.
Unless you are absolutely sure it is safer to assume everything is fake!
There are huge numbers of videos on YouTube. Many people now watch YouTube on TV which is a recent change.
Whatever your interest, you are almost certain to find a video. If you do a search I can almost guarantee you will find something.
Last night we watched a video about transport in the time of Queen Victoria in the UK. This was on the TV.
If you want videos about Russia I have found TimesRadio and Joe Blogs videos informative.
Yaesu has released some firmware updates to the FTX-1F. In my view it is FAR too expensive and under-featured.
Although my voice is poor I think I need to produce a new video showing how the QMX+ can be put on 8m. Perhaps I can intersperse photos with printed words to avoid talking?
In the meantime my video channel is on YouTube. See https://www.youtube.com/@G3XBM/videos .
This video was see on YouTube earlier. I had a cardiac arrest in 2013. Many with a religious faith will expect some kind of life after death.
There is an enormous quantity of stuff on YouTube. Whether your interest is amateur radio or something else, a quick search is almost sure to throw up something. The video attached is just an example.
A reminder that some of my videos might be of interest. Most are about amateur radio. A few are not. Many give more details of some of my projects.
This is my usual reminder that I have a G3XBM video channel which has more data on many of my projects. Many of these videos are years old, certainly before my 2013 stroke.

A reminder that my main G3XBM website has far more details of my projects and interests. Also, my YouTube video channel often has useful project information. Most data predates my stroke.
See www.g3xbm.co.uk .
Some of the videos on my YouTube channel may be of interest, as are some of the pages on my main website. Many of these are quite old and probably are in need of an update!

It is hard to keep up with all the videos on YouTube on the IC-705. This one may be of interest. The best thing to do is go to YouTube and search "IC-705".
Many are Japanese where this product was first launched. At the moment MLS is offering a 5 year warranty at extra cost. I suspect they will soon be offering this in the selling price. A 5 year warranty is probably a good idea.
Yesterday, as it was slightly less hot and there was an easterly wind, we decided to go to Cambridge on the bus. It was still hot! This ph...
