Stupid AI Tricks

I WAS HESITANT TO POST A LINK but I clicked onto what I was sure was one of the jillions of "AI" generated Youtubes that supposedly report on the hatreds of the show-biz "greats" of the past.  This one was reporting on the actors Johnny Carson hated the most.   I can't say the "content" was entirely without interest because several of the actors fell into an understandable class that Johnny would have hated interviewing,  Brando,  De Niro,  Dustin Hoffman,  I can understand why someone whose career was built on celebrity fluff would have found artists of their stature being hard to fit into his shtick.   I can also understand why artists might have hated having to go on that show.    

But the real tell about the video was that as the computerized voice went on and on about why Johnny hated Brando,  the large majority of the artificially intelligently chosen pictures and clips were of Fred Rogers.  I don't quite get the tropes about how hard it was to work with "method actors" fits into Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood.   Maybe it figured Henrietta Pussycat and Daniel Striped Tiger would have been hard interviews in the Carson style,  though something tells me a lot less "intelligence" than that went into it.

I prefer genuine intelligence to the artificial junk.   Americans get sold shit every time.  And it's shocking how many of them go for it over the real thing.
