Rise and Falls of the different fishing Manufacturer and their History

[Paul Roberts]

This has to be AI slop.

I watched the first part of the Avet "documentary".  I couldn't stand to watch more,

It is  riddled with both historical and technical errors. For example, the explanation of side load binding was ridiculously incorrect, and Avet did not invent putting ball bearings into lever drags before reels. Aargh.


It is pretty obvious that whoever is doing this does not have an understanding of the topic, let alone subject matter expertise. 

This thing is put together with strange, improperly used documentary cliches, and what is with the British accent?  And no credits?

This guy is cranking out "documentaries" by the day. Nothing about the originator other than  a link to a site selling fishing tips, which is probably more AI slop.

My take exactly. I watched some of the Shakespeare video and was at first annoyed by the inaccuracies, both the quickly cobbled AI verbage and images, with clickbait titles. I was, still am, disgusted. I see they are getting views, which is solely what they were meant to do. Yuck.

I have not and will not view any of the videos.  I loathe AI slop.  I regularly send messages to eBay sellers that, even though I'd like to own the item they are selling, I will not be participating because they used the AI generated, generic item description.  If a seller is too lazy to tell me exactly what they are selling, they don't deserve my business.

Yeah I didn't have to click on the videos to know they wouldn't be up my alley. Just seeing how formulaic the cover image is told me most of what I needed to know, and comments here confirmed it.

We're all just beta testing this stuff for them for free anyway. At least those of us who participate.  Maybe in 5 years it'll be better.

Apparently, having a YouTube channel and making little videos can actually generate some money if you can mass produce the stuff.  The funny thing is, that makes you an "influencer".  What a weird and perverse concept.

I don't think I object to having information on AT.com pirated and used by some low-life to generate a few cents on YouTube.  Not pirating it sounds even worse..

This post is not to be taken as being vicious . Joey wants to know what he missed .
What time stamp in the video that states : Avet did not invent putting ball bearings into lever drags.
I saw / heard 6 bearings instead of 4 .  Time stamp 5-6 minutes and again at 8-9 minutes .

The bushings in some reels did load up under long pulles and side loads , Ocean City long key for example .  I also saw pictures of bearing being flashed in the video ,I thought I saw 3 different styles 5.13 and 7.58

I did state in another post that the narrator spoke with a British accent , with that said they pronounce words differently than most of us  Americans and some of their phrases will make you scratch your head .

  Am I defending AI , No just keeping a open mind and thinking ...    Still in the classroom and learning .            If you don`t know and you don`t want to know , you will never know .  Another phrase from Grandpa .

Pirated is the new pirates of the ocean of the internet .
