Video Description

Headphones encouraged. Check out the uncut version over on Patreon, as the ads I referenced have been removed from YouTube, and Apple is taking down videos that show it (apparently).

I've identified which sections are a part of that research, and I would discourage you from actually looking into it unless you are trying to wrap your head around how AI is being used. All research related to creating this video is available on the blog: https://publish.obsidian.md/rejectconvenience/Reject+Convenience+Website/Videos/2025/11-24-2025+-+How+to+do+anything+(without+AI)/How+to+do+anything+RESEARCH The entire script can be found here if you prefer to read: https://publish.obsidian.md/rejectconvenience/Reject+Convenience+Website/Videos/2025/11-24-2025+-+How+to+do+anything+(without+AI)/How+to+do+anything+SCRIPT ▬▬ Other References ▬▬ https://www.mentalhealth.com/library/anger-and-social-media https://www.empr.com/news/adenoma-detection-rate-of-standard-colonoscopy-declines-after-exposure-to-ai-assisted-colonoscopy/ https://www.mprnews.org/story/2025/08/19/npr-doctors-ai-artificial-intelligence-dependent-colonoscopy https://futurism.com/ai-destroying-generation-students ▬▬ Video References ▬▬ The ad that Apple made WAS linked here: Apple (gone): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deNzYrTvqCs Google (gone): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_P_EwFmZHE Google (currently live): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNTGbi5ReMc But it seems they took it down.
