Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

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.

Like so

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. Moreso anyway.

Edit: I made a typo in the data, which gave UNKNOWN: Killer Robots and UNKNOWN: Cosmic Time Machine a higher View Per Like ratio than it should have. Here's the new chart: Like So

The new Furthest right are now
American Nightmare
and
Will & Harper

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 (liking and commenting)
