  1. 24:18 its obvious that they can tell the difference, or it would not have been brought up, its their little secret. lol what a joke. whats the point in ai generated content if its not going to be CLEAR that nobody can use it. what a joke. no guidelines on algorithms to make it original content for use. i mean come on.

  2. Im sure they have CIA tracking That has a data base filled with the text it pops out and they will have the words stored in their computer, so they can see if you copied what they wrote .. that sucks. too bad, it would sure make blog posts and emails alot more accessible and then you wouldnt have to pay thousands of dollars for marketing copy
