5. I'll be happy when the AI companies stop subsidizing this stuff.

There are some indications that the free ride is coming to an end.

This video series was almost certainly made in a low wage country by someone with a limited grasp of the English language.

The presenter introducing the series is AI too, as are most of the viewers and subscribers.

When AI users have to pay full price for the service that will be the end of it.

I don't think Google cares so long as their advertisers keep buying ads.

There are tens of thousands of real-life presenters who could do a better presentation in less time without stealing the likeness of Feynman.

One thing Feynman was notorious for was not suffering fools. He was fine with people who didn't know things and freely admitted that, but he could be quite vicious in his response to people who asserted they knew and understood things they did not.

I think if this Feynman simulacra were true to life it would refuse to work with the clown or clowns who made these videos... or worse.
