This is what AI says about this video:
As always AI doesn't quite get it. One of the main points is that it could catch on fire and burn down your house. Plus you'll run into other problems as well. You're not supposed to buy extensions for USB. Buy a longer cable instead.
Jokes on you buddy. Most people can’t afford houses these days.
But yeah, if you don’t know what exactly what you’re doing, err on the side of caution
I need the super duper reliable video summary LLM I was promised. Or else!
I even bought my pitchfork for it, see? ----₤ What? It was on sale.
Idk man. If you're writing wrong stuff, people will call you out here on Lemmy. Doesn't really matter who you are. And the issue was someone wanting that info as text.
You're a bold one. Lemmy hates videos and AI both.
I asked the AI if it was wrong or you were wrong. It said you were wrong.
Who am I to believe?
I'm sick of stuff that should be ~2 paragraphs of text being a video. I do not want to watch a person or hear a narrator, I interpret written information much more effectively, and being text I can retain significant portions of the document as necessary.

By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
You know, you don't have to watch it. You can find the information elsewhere in text format. But I guess we all need to conform to your preferences.
It's nice that you're so ready to delegate to my natural authority, but unnecessary.
Well I prefer the video. So make sure you watch it. Give a like as well.
The AI got most of it vaguely right, but unsurprisingly a lot seems to go above its head. Kinda like reading a shitty tech journalist writing about something they don't understand at all.
The risk isn't usually the device you connect a bad cable to (they have internal limiters), it's the cable itself. You can easily overload a cable if the extension cord can't signal the lower limit if it's own rating and the other cable's rating.
The USB 2 part is also misleading.
