Are AI videos threatening content creators? Have we entered an AI bubble? And what are the best broadband options? Saoirse Hanley, journalist at the Irish Independent, joins Adrian on this week’s episode of The Big Tech Show. Adrian began by asking Saoirse whether she would be less likely to watch a AI generated video than a human generated one. The journalist responded that she would immediately lose interest in videos that are seen to be made by a machine. This topic was on the back of YouTube content creator Mr Beast announcing recently that AI video is so good now that it is legitimately threatening the livelihood of content creators.
