AISlop has ruined pet videos for me.

The one of the parrot at night asking Alexa to play party music.
The one of the cat jumping into the snow after birds.

They seem cute and funny until I get to the end and realise they're AI. And then I just feel like I've been scammed.

It feels more deceptive than a "based on true life" movie. Though I don't know why.

At any rate, no more clicking on pet videos.

Perhaps this is how YouTube dies. Perhaps that's for the best.
