I just wanted to compare FOSS Linux budgeting software

  I absolutely hate YouTubers who plaster their face all over the thumbnail, especially when they’re doing stupid clickbait faces.

  i love how “asking your peers” or “going on dedicated forums or communities” to ask questions is the most viable option atm.

    Yeah, it’s a sad state of affairs. Forums were good at some point. But nowadays it feels like only the most socially deranged, basement dwelling, self righteous asshats are still on there. And this is especially true for anything related to linux.

    Sure, you may get a usable answer somewhere down the line. But the amount of verbal abuse, “Uhm actshually” and “why don’t you do completely unrelated thing” you get is unbearable.

  Not all of those videos are fully AI-generated, at least not entirely. (voices and video itself are real, script is AI-generated) They are still slop content, though.

  From what I can tell, most of the voices are real (you can hear changes in microphone types & background noises, reverb, natural stuttering, accent changes, proper tone, etc on many of them) but a lot of the scripts seem AI-generated, along with the actual face in the thumbnail, even when the voice is real.

  Most of the videos are being generated by a semi-large media generating organization who just pumps out algorithmically optimized videos. I did see a few, mostly from smaller creators, that were entirely AI-voiced as well, though.

  I think most of them were just copying the thumbnail design because it got clicks. Not uncommon on YouTube unfortunately.

  For anyone curious, the videos are basically just them scrolling through the websites of each, while reading off a paragraph or two of general information about what each is that has that sort of AI-generated tone and order to it.

  The video creation process is literally as simple as:
  1. Ask ChatGPT “write me a script for a short video talking about what Actual Budget is vs. Firefly III"
  2. Record yourself auto-scrolling slowly through the Actual Budget website, then the same for the Firefly III website
  3. Record a voiceover of you just reading word-for-word the script from ChatGPT
  4. Slap them on top of each other
  5. Clone the thumbnail from the other channels that got the most clicks, just like everyone else is doing, so now all of your videos look the same.

    The day after seeing this post I came across the exact same format searching for something unrelated on DuckDuckGo. The AI Sloppening is real

  They should make a video called how to be a copy and paste youtuber, but someone else would have to make it first so they can copy it.

    They’re selling those as courses, they make good money on those too.

  No reason for Linux budgeting since it comes completely free (as in beer and as in freedom)!

  I am not really sure what is going on here, neither do I know the tools and know what you are looking for… But maybe Portfolio Performance?

  This may be no help at all, but instead of having to waste my time watching unnecessarily drawn out videos, I’ve been feeding the links into perplexity and asking it to summarize the video for me. Saves a shitload of time.

  • Acamon@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Given that those videos are just AI scripts voiced by AI, couldn’t you just ask perplexity to compare the two products? It would still be a unreliable LLM answer, but at least you’re not jumping through hoops to get there.

      In this particular case, you’re 100% correct.

      It still beats having to watch some wannabe influencer flap their gums about nothing for twenty minutes just so their video is long enough to monitize to suit themselves.
