Update: Matt is very real and he contacted me. He removed the incorrect trailers from the post. I apologize for goofing a little by insinuating that Matt maybe was A.I. generated. After a bit of thought I decided to leave this video up because I think it's important to highlight the dangerous trend of our content online being subsumed by cookie cutter A.I. posts. That said, I hope this post doesn't discourage anyone who would have visited Filmlifestyle, it's a big site and as Matt communicated to me he works hard on it. I have some strong disagreements with him about some of the tools he's using but everyone is just trying to get by in this modern world. If you do find any other inaccuracies, on his or other sites, be nice when reaching out and don't be a jerk like me and offer veiled accusations that people are robots.
I appreciate that you pinned this correction to your video. However, despite Matt being a 'real boy', I would say that I agree with you that many of the samples he wrote sound like they were written by an AI language model like ChatGPT. I suspect he used one to generate some of the actual text for his list. Or at the very least, he probably used a program like Grammarly and kept pressing the 'concise wording' button and sucked all the soul out of his writing.
@JackMorell yeah I still find his tactics for writing his articles to be against my principles but if I were to make this video again I would have focused it more on the tools being used. I kept the video up because I still don’t believe any of the criticisms I made about the site were unfair.
Yeah I’m never going to agree that writing an article like the one on Filmlifestyle is ok, but I feel a little bad for honestly thinking Matt was a robot. 😅
Even though Matt is real, I think it’s worth scrutinizing that website a bit more. Every single article on the website is written by Matt. They’re uniformly low quality articles with no passion for the subject. What’s more is the website is trying to position itself as a useful resource for aspiring filmmakers trying to start their own business. The articles are garbage tier, without any useful or actionable information you couldn’t find on any other content blog. You’re not wrong to call out Matt. He has other LLM-written websites that are just as garbage as this one.
@@MintVolcano I honestly think that this subject deserves a deep dive. I found this video while trying to see if anyone I follow has made a lengthier video essay or deeper dive into these SEO spam LLM-written microsites. Twice in the last month I've gone to google to get very specific answers about software I'm using as an animator, only to be unable to get useful information because the top results are full of these absolute garbage SEO-optimized articles. The most frustrating part of this experience is that when I tried to use the software's built-in help resources (press F1) to get an answer, the main page of their support page uses a ChatGPT-style help agent that tries to filter search results assisted by AI and does a very poor job of understanding my query. This can be bypassed, but It really worries me. If this software company decides to use an LLM to write their support articles in the future, it could make it impossible to get actual answers.

Well, I guess the site is not generated by Artificial Intelligence, but rather by Genuine Stupidity.
lol

Thanks for this info. It’s reaffirming my decision to keep this video up.

Don't forget to talk about Hsiao-Hsien Hou movie's,
Millenium Mambo, The Assassin are some of my favorite movies.
Poor Matt 😢 all he ever wanted was to become a real boy 😂
idk, seems like he got what he wanted long ago.
