AI slop is flooding maths YouTube

First time making a video essay... a little nervous. Let me know how it goes :)

If you actually read the description up to here, comment which maths video (on my channel or others) is your favourite. Mine is still 3Blue1Brown's Basel problem video, by an insane margin.

To prove this video itself is not AI generated, see the Google Doc draft I had, especially the bottom half, where I mentioned stuff that didn't make it into the final video: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12...

This second channel is mainly for more novel topics that are not usually covered in a curriculum. Frankly, even though I still like making videos of the type currently covered in the main channel, I like the type of videos on this second channel much more, so I would love to grow the second channel to find the right audience this time around.

I've debated whether to blur the channel names, but I do want to name and shame. The only thing I blur is the AI tool that is potentially used, because I don't want to give them free promo.

If you are wondering how I made all these videos, even though it is stylistically similar to 3Blue1Brown, I don't use his animation engine Manim, but I use PowerPoint, GeoGebra, and (sometimes) Mathematica to produce the videos.
