Right, because that's a pretty widespread trope.

You didn't write the words "selfish atheist", but you certainly appealed to that in your unsupported claim. That is the essence of "trope" -- appealing to a commonly-held though perhaps wrong idea.

Sorry, I reviewed the video 5 times. I heard it flub a word once.
Great. Now go google a plain picture of a B-29, and see where your prized AI has screwed up. Or maybe just look at the images in the video. Do propellers come out of engine nacelles? Do the engines on a B-29 have three or four propellers? Do some have three and some have four? Does the B-29 have a stepped cockpit?
You see, when you don't know the details of the task you're assigning to AI, you cannot know when that AI gets it wrong. You're strapped into its errors.
In an effort to try and help you out, I will provide this video, entirely produced by a human, about the B-29.

Or you might simply acknowledge that AI makes mistakes and trusting it is not smart.

Just type the name of the website. How tiresome is that? You're acting like I'm asking you to go down to the archives and mail me copies of the documents. I'm not. Just type the name of the website.
The more you complain, the more I doubt you have any source. Prove me wrong. Type the name of your source and I will do the rest of the god-awful trekking across the WWW wearing my fingers to the bone, since that's so much work for you.

Trying. How? So Tired....
Now, I know this might sound complicated, but in the lower right-hand corner of every post, there's a button labeled -- wait for it, it's maybe hard to figure out -- it's labeled "reply". And you only have to click on that button and it will send you to a reply screen. One click ... even your tired hands should be able to manage that. Here, look at this:
