New Round of Criti-Hype Propaganda Drops Next Week - awful.systems

Hooray…still thinking about how apparently the OpenAI and Anthropic PR teams were impressed with this doc, which is a pretty clear indicator of what it’s going to be like

the reviews on imdb have dropped a bit (from 8.5 down to 7.5) but that’ll probably change when the full thing drops

Also is it just me or does the trailer have a weirdly large views vs likes ratio? 5.6mil views with only 6.7K likes? is that the norm for documentaries?

With my extremely scientific method of “clicking on trailers for random documentaries and seeing the ratios” the like-to-view ratio is typically in a range from 1-10 to 1-100. The biggest outlier I saw was probably Will & Harper at about 1-400. The AI Doc is about 1-800. Also interesting is the comments. Will & Harper has about 6400 comments while the AI Doc only has 640, which would be comparable to something like Murder in Monaco, a documentary trailer with about a tenth of the views (and also has a comparable amount of likes).

Thank you for your rigorous scientific studying stranger

Sorry if this is unsolicited, but I decided to put a bit more rigour into it and check the average of 100 netflix documentary trailers from here

And make a chart.

That dot on the top right is the AI doc.
The dot on the bottom right is UNKNOWN: Killer Robots
The dot on the top is American Symphony
In both of those instances they’re comparable on one axis but not the other.
So basically if this chart’s correct there’s definitely cause for suspicion

Damn, that is way, way bigger than I thought

The other guy is probably right that its a case of AI fanatics using chatbots to summarise what its about without actually engaging with it in any meaningful way
