Glad this was posted here because I thought his script sounded really AI generated (or at least super PR speak). The below quotes really stood out as jarring having heard and read through a lot of AI slop, but the overwhelming praise given throughout the script to the concepts of youtubers and their viewers and finally his new product all also gave me that weird AI deja vu.

1:29 "Soon, the press wasn't just a press; it was information traveling in waves through the air.

7:35 "Newpress isn't just another media channel or media company. It's more of an idea. An idea that journalism can be done differently..."

8:21 "It's not breaking news; it's nourishing in-depth journalism that teaches you how the world works."

I generally enjoy Harris' content (the bunker video is something I actually sent to a friend and had a whole conversation about - incredible video), so I'm really not trying to be a hater. What I'm actually hating is that picking up on stray deja vu is sometimes the only real way you can know something is AI anymore, and because it's such a vague reference point I come away with an uneasy feeling about sources like Harris that I would otherwise have been comfortable to treat as trustworthy.
