Which other platform should Kurzgesagt and all their 25M subscribers move to instead?
Behold, dog!
That’s what I believed too before I started using it for this purpose. This resolved a larger bottleneck in my daily work and allows me to use my brain for more useful stuff.
But I’m not allowed to say that here. How dare I forming my own opinion!
Well, here you can’t mention you’re using AI for your job without anyone pointing out that the job cannot possibly be of real value if AI can help you with it.

Well at least they’re showing me a picture of an angry unicorn, as if that’s going to lighten my mood
