It\u2019s terrible for the environment, it steals people\u2019s work without consent, it can be used to produce nasty deepfakes\u2013I could go on, but I\u2019m already preaching to the choir here. However, even with all this in mind, I think I have finally discovered one genuine benefit for the technology; over the weekend, I watched it bork the transcription of a fake WWE news channel so hard that it made me laugh until my ribs hurt.<\/p>\n<p>To be completely upfront with you, there is a chance you might have seen a few of these clips floating around already, as this was spotted by the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/artificial-intelligence\/ai-slop-youtube-channel-glitches-bizarre\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Futurism<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MKg_TalqfEU\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Vinesauce<\/a> earlier this month. However, one specific clip started popping up on X again recently, thanks to video game content creator <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/LarryBundyJr\/status\/2058140468219707566\" rel=\"nofollow\">Larry Bundy Jr.<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">An automated A.I.
