alt Hacker NewsUsing it as a reference is a high bar not a low bar.
The AI videos aren't trying to be accurate. They're put out by propaganda groups as part of a "firehose of falsehood". Not trusting an AI told to lie to you is different than not trusting an AI.
Even without that playing a game of broken telephone is a good way to get bad information though. Hence why even reasonably trustworthy AI is not a good reference.

The entire foundation of trust is that I’m not being lied to. I fail to see a difference. If they are lying, they can’t be trusted

Not that this makes it any better, but a lot of AI videos on YouTube are published with no specific intent beyond capturing ad revenue - they're not meant to deceive, just to make money.
