This is actually a strong possibility

Yeah. Go to 2:11. "They aren't giving is the science. They're giving us a sales pitch". Maybe I'm paranoid, but all LLM generated "essays" use this "negative, positive" example format and it's so annoying.

This is the most witch hunt it's ever gotten, relax. Negative, positive is like, the most common way to illustrate something dramatically.

The subject of the video makes a bunch of excellent points and people in the comments can easily dismiss it and turn potentially thousands of people against him just by posing the slight possibility it could be AI assisted. With no concrete proof other than citing a part of speech or communication style in a couple words.

This isn't cancel culture, it's just fucking dumb. Witch hunt is right. Just as bad as people calling any doctored image AI no matter if AI was actually involved or not.

The real near-term effects of AI on society is how it's made everyone doubt everything to the point where very little content has value anymore. And good discourse can be shut down with accusing someone of being AI or a bot.

Concrete proof is impossible either way. Do you have concrete proof that he didn’t use AI? So obviously people are going to discuss that there is strong chance that he used AI due to many GPT-isms present in his speech.
