My AI replacement is going to think watching YouTube at work is a crucial part of my job.

[yhtomitGU]

Is no one else impressed at the quality Kurzgesagt achieves with ONLY 12 people? Been following the channel for a while now but holy crap, TWELVE PEOPLE?!?!?!

[JuanMaBF]

This video definitely needs a second episode

[mariociaramitaro]

would be great to update this with a second episode between AI Image generation and the future of creativity

[johnbailey]

Kurzgesagt: the AI will learn what to recommend you
Me: *watches ep 3 of a series*
YouTube recommendations: I think that you should watch episode 5, 11 and 1

This is becoming increasingly relevant as the coronavirus lockdown shows us just how few people we need to run a country.

I graduated art school 7 years ago thinking I had job security... now programmers are inventing code to automate art and design, as well as animation. It's terrifying. I have a great job as a lead game artist right now, but I wonder where it'll be in 10 years...

[Isma_IllustraDesign]

Kurzgesagt guys, we really need you to do another video of this...

[HushVox]

Haha jokes on you, I don't have a job to be replaced.

... please send help.

You guys are only 12 people?!? That is incredible. Y’all must be the dream team putting in the work to output all these amazing videos. Thanks guys!!!

[bandols]

Please make an updated version of this video!! It's been almost 5 years and there has been a lot of changes.

[dinohall]

"This video took over 900 hours to make..."
Depressing or not, there's no way to NOT give that kind of effort a Thumbs-Up.

[samclarke]

I love that you have a playlist called " The existential crisis" playlist

[MrRaja]

GPT-4 is here and i could only think of this video and had to re-watch... who else is back here thanks to GPT-4 release?

[Fjuron]

Your production quality is off the charts!
Plus, I feel I can trust your information and the differentiated way in which you present it a hell of a lot more than many other sources.

[froid]

You got me depressed just when i forgot about "Humans need not apply" by CGP Grey

There's a robot working at the grocery store I shop at. It literally drives up and down the aisles, scanning prices (I guess?). The cashier said it's name was Marty.

[NALTOHQ]

The fact technology has reached this point isnt the bad thing. The bad thing is that so many companies are MORE THAN WILLING to exploit it to its fullest, solely for the sake of profit.
