A creepy youtube channel that has more videos than it has views: just take a look - General

So I was looking for interviews of one of my philosophy professors and I found a video called [B]"Weird Facts about Arthur Schafer"[/B]. I clicked it and figured it was some video a student had made as a joke. This is what I found. [video=youtube;kMn64O5-Byk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMn64O5-Byk[/video] There's some kind of an automaton reading off information from I think his wikipedia page or his university page in a microsoft sam voice. There are SIX THOUSAND fucking videos and around FOUR THOUSAND total views. What do you guys think? Is it ARG time? It's probably just some weird guy with too much free time but it's really creepy.

Lovely

There's something unsettling about that robot's face...

Holy shit there were all uploaded a week ago.

I just stumbled upon this, and when I saw how many videos there were I got chills lol. It's just weird.

how do you upload so many videos in such a short time span? and why would you make so many videos out of nowhere?

It looks like just some random project/experiment by a student or person with too much time on their hands.

maybe it's to teach robots about the world they're about to conquer

I assume this guy managed to automate video creation? Make the robot move (the robot itself is a seperate feat all together), make it overlay text to speech, read off a wikipedia article, get the first image off of google search, and some minor overlays about what it is. No other complex editing. Have the camera and robot movement be timed to happen simeltaneusly. Upload in a low enough quality to post in bulk. It could be done.

or make a bunch and upload in bulk all at once [editline]12th December 2013[/editline] automatic creation is more fun but

It's the next ~art project~ by the group that made horse_ebooks and that pronounciation youtube account. Calling it now.

Was that on the robot channel?

Probably a way to get money: write a program to grab content off Wikipedia, automate video creation for thousands of topics, automatically upload

This is tests of early stages of development for global news automation that is selecting, screenig, editing and delivering pro illuminati/anti-white news. This will probably take over all news programs with androids no one will know.

[QUOTE=a-k-t-w;43155942]or make a bunch and upload in bulk all at once [editline]12th December 2013[/editline] automatic creation is more fun but[/QUOTE] I have good reason to think they are automatically created. Look at the list of videos. [img]http://i.imgur.com/0dckQ9B.png[/img] You'll notice that some videos have images displayed, some don't. These actually correspond to the wikipedia articles themselves; if the article doesn't have an image, one isn't displayed in the video. [t]http://i.imgur.com/pkJfwI7.png[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/VFVajfb.png[/t] Infact, each video shares it's image with the first one on that topics wikipedia article. And [I]every video[/I] is about a wikipedia article. [t]http://i.imgur.com/O8Il9EI.png[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/zV9usKd.png[/t] And as shown [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2W6sft9vrY]here[/url] compared to [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Cinderella]here[/url], the robot reads off the wikipedia article exactly, every time. Also, the descriptions are always the [I]first sentence[/I] of each wikipedia article, whatever that may be.

It really does have to be a bot.

Without gameplay videos, this is what YouTube will become. An informative paradise for our new robot overlord.

The comments convinced me its a bot, the above analysis of the video titles/content proves it. This has to be a thing that once its discovered makes money.

It's a prototype Crow T Robot [t]http://i.imgur.com/RRcQncq.jpg[/t]

my new favorite channel.

Jesus, this is creepy. What is the point of this thing? Where is it? It looks totally automated. All it does is upload videos of itself narrating wikipedia articles somewhere far away. That somewhere may not have even been visited by a single human in months. The machine is just operating there by itself, doing what it's programmed to do by itself, the entire channel just mindlessly maintained by itself. It doesn't need a human. Not anymore.

Also the channel is subscribed to the uploader of this [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX3eUwHunZM[/url] perhaps the same guy? If so that would mean its probably just an experiment by someone who works with camera related AI systems, and the idea of fully automated video creation seems like it would fall in line with that.
