Over the weekend, Southern Idaho got slammed by severe storms that resulted in widespread flooding and associated damage. I did a quick search on YouTube for more information and saw a lot of dramatic footage.
The trouble with searching for anything on YouTube, however, is the algorithm then assumes you want to see more and more on that particular subject ... which is why I was so amused to see this ridiculous clickbait video pop up: "Idaho destroyed today!"
The video showed legitimate footage of the storm, so perhaps it's more accurate to say the featured image was clickbait. Ahem, notice the preponderance of palm trees and dramatic hurricane-level flooding in the image. In Idaho. The last time Idaho was hit by a hurricane was, well, never.
Ah, artificial intelligence.....
AI has taken over almost everything, you cannot trust just about ANY picture and or articles UNLESS you can VET them yourself. it is sickening and nothing we can do about it at this point. I am glad I am pretty old as I probably won't be around to see the continued destruction of this country and much of the world. It will be my luck I'll live to be a 100. LOL
ReplyDeletePalm trees in Idaho ?
ReplyDeleteThat's like mountains around Houston, TX.
Oh, wait...
ROFL at the "photos" of "Idaho". Palm trees are snapping, there are whitecaps on the road, it is supposed to be hailing, and somebody is calmly standing (in winter clothing) on top of a wet, slippery, mostly submerged car in hurricane conditions. Tip about if a torrential subtropical downpour/hurricane/snapping palm trees occurs in Idaho: Wear clothing that dries quickly, and not much of it. All that water weight is HEAVY.
