The universe is silent, and one theory says artificial intelligence is the reason why.

The idea is that AI is the Great Filter, the barrier that stops civilisations before they can spread to the stars.

But this theory has a plot hole.

If AI destroys its creators, the surviving machines should be spreading across the galaxy, and we see nothing.

This video examines why AI probably isn't the filter, what the counterarguments look like, and why the simplest explanation might be that we are just extraordinarily rare.
