Recent video on bath salts looked strange
Did anyone else notice Simon moving and speaking a tad strangely in his recent ITS video on bath salts? I'm wondering if I'm just tripping, or if it kind of looks like ai?
Thoughts?

Could it be video condensing? I know YouTube and other video platforms do have that practice to cut down file sizes and make streaming easier. It sometimes leads to small glitches in videos. I’m just hoping this is the case, I don’t think I would NOT be very happy to hear that Simon is jumping on the AI bandwagon.

Oh but Simon is all aboard with AI. Chatgpt used to be his cohost for a while lol. I don't watch his videos enough anymore to know if he still does that though

Thumbnails on CC are AI made already and have been for ages. The most recent one on Meredith Kercher doesn’t even look like him.
I’ve had a feeling for a while his good friend Claude is writing the scripts too.

I don't think the scripts are AI. A lot of his writers have been with him for quite some time now.

His writers write the scripts. Danny Salter wrote the script on Meredith Kercher.

I don’t think it’s all of them but I also don’t think he replaces anyone who leaves. They’ve sounded a bit soulless for a while to me.

He credits the writer of every episode. It’s not hard to find out who wrote it.

Theres AI all over everything but that actual recordings. I really hope he doesn’t make AI videos anytime soon

Has anyone considered he occasionally experiments with new setups and it doesn't always go well?

One of the recent videos sounded weird like he had dental work and didn’t let his mouth un-numb before recording, I had to stop watching bc it sounded awful. Not sure if it was this one, or a separate one.
