Tagging as AI because some illustrations seem to be AI generated and the previous video from the channel also used AI edits in the video.

There's too much AI being used in the video. Something is off about the voice as well.

Edit: IMO, a pretty clear sign the channel is AI is the name. Purportedly a native English speaker capable of making computer chips in a shed, but made a careless mistake naming the channel "Dr.Semiconductor", omitting a space after "Dr.". The first video uploaded a month ago has the same tells that the voice is AI-generated as this 2-hour-long video on C++. Those are also both videos with a similar number of views uploaded by a channel with no previous history with clear AI-generated imagery. The entire channel is AI and it appears lots of people are being easily fooled. The voice is AI. The videos and imagery are AI. The script is likely AI. The video idea might be AI. Even the comments might be AI. The only thing that isn't clearly AI is the channel name. The 400k views on the first video could be fraudulently automated. It looks like this stuff has gotten good enough to fool people as recently as 5 months ago, possibly earlier. Welcome to the dead internet.

I've been looking through the previous video and while it's clear that AI is used (like in the transition of the shed). The rest seems to be too consistent to be entirely AI generated, details of objects remain consistent across shots. The short time-lapse also seems hard to fake. The new video doesn't seem to be using AI as much, but I did spot this illustration that seems generated. The video also references the projectsinflight channel which leads me to believe it's not based on an LLM generated script and the author does understand what he is talking about.

If it was a fake I can see why someone would do that. The Patreon brings in €285.6/month, coming from 140 people. His voice is also very monotone so I can see why you feel it's suspicious.

Yeah, maybe it isn't all AI.

I still think the voice is AI. I don't know why people do this. We're already facing so much slop. Why make it worse and disrespect your audience? Use your very own human voice. This threw me off and made me mistrust the entire video.
