AI-generated content is flooding the internet, from videos and music to news and books. On top of that, generative AI is making false information look more convincing than ever. We’re entering a new era of information overload, and figuring out what’s real and what’s not is becoming more and more of a challenge. While AI slop is slowly changing the internet as we know it, one thing is certain: kurzgesagt videos will always remain human-made.
Kurzgesagt (/ˌkʊərtsɡəˈzɑːkt/, /ˈkʊərtsɡəˌzɑːkt/; German for “In a nutshell”, “in short”, or literally “shortly said”; German pronunciation: [ˈkʊʁt͡sɡəˌzaːkt]) is a German animation and design studio founded by Philipp Dettmer. The studio is best known for its YouTube channel, which focuses on minimalistic animated educational content using a flat and 3D design style. It discusses scientific, technological, political, philosophical, and psychological subjects.[5][6]
