Duncan Documentary

Just came across this on my YouTube for you page.. got it on now.

****EDIT I did not realize it was AI slop sorry, should have watched it first :sweat_smile:. The views and comments are deceiving.

Some visuals are AI generated……

The word “some” doing a lot of heavy lifting right there.

soapboxing for a moment but the second you insert anything AI generated into a historical piece you are doing WAY more harm than good because I have no idea how accurate some of the claims in this video are when the ‘evidence’ presented is an AI generated image

also this entire thing is narrated (and likely written) by AI..

a quote:

The tricks had names that evoked a strange kinetic poetry. Walking the dog, rock the baby around the world, skin the cat. Each trick required a different manipulation of physics. Walking the dog required the player to let the spinning wood touch the ground and crawl forward, risking a scuff on the pristine lacquer. Around the world required a terrifying commitment to centrifugal force, swinging the heavy wooden rock in a giant circle near the faces of bystanders.

i am sad for the state of the internet in 5 years

We’re in a doomed loop for sure. Once AI starts to consume itself, we won’t know fact from fiction.

That was halfway good with a few eye rolls here and there. :slight_smile: exciting and scary times.

I fell asleep a few minutes into it. For how obscure yoyo documentaries are besides Gingie doing them I thought someone might appreciate it. :sob:

yikes, bearing hub stacks ahha. It is really scary how once AI gets even better people wont know how to differentiate. It’s already happening now and AI is just in the early stages.

The ai…I need to steer clear of documentaries on Youtube these days, seems anyone can crank out stuff. Was looking forward to watching this through but it’s against my better judgement to continue. Going to grab a yoyo instead and disconnect.

No Returning back from knuckle busters

5 minutes of history and bashing Donald Duncan and then 25 minute AI monologue about how plastic YoYo bad and wood YoYo good. This will play to those who haven’t touched a YoYo in 40 years or more and remember playing a YoYo made of wood

LOL. Yeah no hate to anyone (:heart: yoyo), and thank you for posting, but that hand was about where I had to stop. :face_vomiting:

The narration and writing were impressive. Couldn’t handle the inflection on the word yoyo every time though.
