Sad to see: an AI generated science video that’s stolen the voice of David Attenborough. The charitable interpretation is that someone saw a paper and wanted to make it engaging. But it’s just one paper, presented as far more reliable than it should be. The world is going to get flooded with this isn’t it… 🍋

The premise of my cast is that Attenborough is more trustworthy than a median academic paper. This is true because Attenborough never makes very strong claims: it’s always about, this animal does X, we know because we filmed it, and it has these implications for history which is an open question But this single paper has all the biases a scientific paper can have, and it’s making a very strong claim in its domain. And that’s assuming there really was a paper: it’s absolutely trivial to make up something completely false.
