Countless AI slop channels are relentlessly copying our work. So one day we decided: enough is enough. We went undercover to investigate who’s behind them and what this flood of AI slop means for the future of educational content on YouTube.

I’d argue that there is noting smart about knowing how to spell if your language has no rules of spelling, it is pure memorisation
It wood bee betr if inglish had konsistent and fonetik orthografee, lyk othr tungs doo.
Well now we’re just old English peasants
Psh, maybee if yu think formr Prezdent Tedi Rusevelt waz “just an old Inglish pezant.” Riting Inglish lyk this izn’t random, thay modernyzt the orthografee just lyk Spanish and Jerman did in the erly 1900’s. For sum reezon it wazn’t popular 😂 Famusly parodeet by Jorj Orwel in hiz book “1984.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_Spelling_Board
See this is a pet peeve; yes you’re correct. I prefer students to be taught to a certain point where they can create their own words and find out they exist already. It’s kind of hard to explain but it comes down to understanding how these words are formed. Some aren’t in this category but many words are. So if you learn the way words are created then you essentially have access to words without having to know them by looking them up. This is kind of a ESL thing IMO, I speak multiple languages so I look at it differently. Slang meanings is where it gets fun though.
Unfortunately English is pretty much the worst basis for that, with its penchant to randomly steal words and mangle their spelling and pronunciation, rather than composing them.
needed to look up ESL, English as a Second Language, americ*ns really like their 3 letter abbreviations
Before they called it ESL, like back in the 50’s and earlier, it was called “English for Foreigners” 😅
Hah personally I hate them but that one is really commonplace here. Probably used as a derogatory term really.
😂 what did you call me XD?
lol you’re no stranger to what I’ve been called then =P
