BEWARE: I've been told this is AI, make your choice accordingly. Having seen many hundreds of YouTubes on ancient history, I don't see anything false in this content.

1. That entire channel is AI-generated, with a new half-hour AI video on a different subject roughly every other

day. The art is AI. Odds are the scripts were written by AI, and the narrative.voice is AI. The person with that channel might have zero real interest in, let alone knowledge of, history, and you won't know if anything claimed in the videos is true unless you check a real source.

They do have a gimmick/theme - videos are about "44 ridiculous" or "44 dumbest" or "44 absurd" whatever.

But no real historian would do clickbait like this. It's just more AI slop from someone who might have a lot more AI-using YouTube channels on other subjects, under different names.

Shame on AI users flooding YouTube with this sort of thing.

2. That's them. This is me. Is the content here untrue?

4. Since it's AI generated, the odds are at least some of it's untrue. If you're interested in history, find

credible sources, not AI slop.

5. I've been saturated in credible YouTubes on history

for the past 2-3 years and victim-clicked on this because it was amusing and don't detect unfactual things in it. I don't know AI and have so far not succumbed to Google, Microsoft, Edge and the rest bombarding me to use their apps of it.

I've been lambasted a couple of times for having fallen prey and posting. Here, I'll put a disclaimer in the OP and anybody else can beware and make their choice.

6. The amount of AI-generated content on YT lately is downright shocking...

... and makes me very, very sad. I am constantly telling YT to ban this or that channel from my feed -- usually several daily. One can tell just from the titles of the videos that they are clickbait slop.

There are still several good history channels on YT, but they are being lost in the noise.

3. See the thumbnail that's the top image for this video, the AI art about "explloorers"

and see the YouTube comments on the video below:

Especially this comment:

God, AI sucks...Like, is it really that hard to get stock images? We're destroying the planet to make pictures of dudes with 4 hands that don't even match what the bland voice and terrible subtitles are saying.

32:19 Like here, for instance. You couldn't get a picture of the actual Pyramids? The most famous landmark in the world? This is MORE effort to be lazy.

All AI videos should be required to put "AI" in the title and on the thumbnail.

YouTube shouldn't allow AI fraudsters to post stuff like this to try to fool people.
