You Didn't Notice I Posted An AI-Generated Archery Video 😢

[@thatsabanana]

No shortcuts, no skill. That's me shooting a bow at least.

[@Foobits]

Me too, no shortcuts, no skill.... all luck😂

[@strifey7417]

you are not alone 😅

[@borna314]

No shortcuts. No skill. Won a silver medal no idea how. Got worse afterwards. I have no idea what I'm doing. 🤣

[@clearlakerain]

I watch for two reasons. One to get good archery information and two I like Kramer's personality. Kramer is young, excited about life and curious. The combination draws me into his world and the excitement it contains. Bravo Shatterproof !

[@MrDavidstahl]

You’re the best man! Nobody does archery like you!

[@diy-hyrum9842]

Kramer, I swear you once said that you're dyslexic. Maybe not. I am, and I also notice with me and my 2 nephews that are all dyslexic, we take things literal and a lot of jokes are lost on us. I usually can see that it's supposed to be a joke, but don't see the humor in it. And sometimes it makes me a little gullible, which my brothers love to exploit all the time.

[@jasonwatson2679]

I watched that video and was like….what??? No entertainment, humor, how to, improvement. I saw no point in it. I would have left a thumbs down for wasting my time if it would have been someone else besides you. Figured you had a lot going on and didn’t have the time to put into a real video, or maybe needed to get your hits up. A lot of others will do that. Sjouthave known you wouldn’t.

[@VSci_]

I felt the same lol. That's so funny. The tone was clearly different and a lot of the sentences didn't make sense.

[@Gilly999999]

Why is all the sound coming through only on the leftside partway through?

[@wingnutbert9685]

@2:25 the audio gets a hi freq, ripping static too.....both sides

[@TradCat1970]

Just a received a Shatter Proof Archery tab and I fell in love with it on the first shot. This tab made my release quieter. I know it's the archer and not the equipement but this tab made a difference. Very high quality as well. Thank you Shatter Proof Archery!

[@strifey7417]

Even though the AI generated video is beautiful (thanks to your filmography skills), it lacks your natural energy which is what makes your videos YOU. That is something AI cannot generate!

[@bradleybarth9939]

Agreed!

[@Stoney429b]

I don't watch shorts so I can't comment on what I would have thought if I saw it outside of this video, but after this video I have to say that wasn't your best work... Because it wasn't you, Kramer. Half the reason I watch your videos is for the personality, the motivation and the inspiration YOU bring to them. Keep doing your own work mate, you're brilliant at it! You are Shatter Proof, AI will never do it as well 👍🏼

[@musikSkool]

If you are making something cinematic you have to stretch the audio by about 20%, or play it 20% slower. You have to feel it by adjusting the tempo until it sounds good, but cinematic things are just a little slower. Also, get as close to the mic as you can to get the deepest frequencies for higher quality voice. You may need a "dead cat" to fix the blowing on the mic noises.

[@thormidthagahast8914]

As long as it doesn't claim a new invention on something that's been around for generations already

[@garykruta245]

Love your videos and your positive attitude, plan on ordering from y'all after the first of the year. Keep up the great work God Bless y'all.

[@angelpacheco6132]

Bro. What is the best glue for making wooden bows?

[@glenn_r_frank_author]

Some better / stronger / more focused lighting on the arrows being show could be helpful too. The existing ambient light and the few lights you had in there were not really cutting it from a lighting standpoint

[@trevorstewart1308]

I saw my comment! also stay shatterproof

[@darrinrebagliati5365]

I'm not sure whether or not it's a good thing I don't watch shorts anymore!?!

[@brightantwerp]

Well it's interesting that you did this and explain to us all about it. But you are much better as yourself then ai.

[@garysurko332]

Traditional archery is supposed to represent real archery, so should the films.

[@glenn_r_frank_author]

Using AI to write a script about traditional archery... like using a compound bow to compete in a traditional bow competition.

[@mandolinman2006]

I saw something off about it but figured I was too new to your channel and that you might've been trying something different to chase the algorithm.

[@hankvana2149]

Didn't see the AI video, will look for it. Think that AI has its place (not that it's going to just go away eh!) but it's not the be-all, end-all thing. Don't think that AI will ever be able to match the excitement and enthusiasm that makes your videos enjoyable to watch. This is a good video in that it gives the viewer an idea of the planning, setup and editing that goes into making a video. There's a lot more to it than doing a selfie! I make the occasional DIY video and use my drone as a mobile cameraman... you can get otherwise impossible shots as it follows along, no tripod required. Cheers!

[@scatterbrain9490]

Your videos are always good

[@neadil]

Kramer! I have some straight grain Yew wood. If I give you enough will you make 2 bows? One for you, one for me?

[@jpvoxdawg]

When runescape and reality meld

[@AcceptableAsGenerallyDecent]

i thought it was a little cringey and overdramatic but i didnt realize it was an ai generated script 😢

[@alhandel]

How can I buy from you

[@reapergrim76]

Crazy stuff! 😀

[@grejen711]

Ha... I did see that short. It felt like you were experimenting with something but, no, I did not pick up that the script and some of the shot list were AI generated. I 'do computers' for a living! And I did not notice it was AI. I did enjoy watching this 15 minutes way more than that short though. Why? Because sir... like all the best youtube content generators you have two crafts. The one you're showcasing, and videography.

[@karenmurray3098]

the internet is full of trolls and nasty mongrels kramer , nice work mate keep it up

[@randomconstructions4513]

oh, that's why i didn't see anything, i got shorts blocked

[@sweetchariotengland]

Don't do it dude. Its a foregone conclusion. Even the creators are aware of the damage AI could do to our creativity

[@kanonierable]

There is one word to describe that script: SOULLESS.

[@austingulotta9817]

I had thought the short was out of character for you, since you're usually more of a "different strokes for different folks, do what makes you happy" kind of guy, not really a "this is why you should like trad archery" kind of guy

[@destroyer1675]

Gonna post 2 replies to this as my 2 responses to the title and video. First is a Knee jerk and second will be more thought out. Don't want 1 of them to get more notice than the other and get blown out of context.

[@destroyer1675]

Knee jerk - I'm a little annoyed and disappointed you did this experiment on us without heads up. (The heads up being the biggest point.) To my knowledge even placebo medical trials tell testers that they may be given a placebo. As far as I know you didn't give us a heads up about the AI video either as a short video or a community post. I'm sure content creation about the modern archery topic can be difficult since you can only post about so many things before you start repeating videos. After all there are only so many ways to build a bow or shoot one. I wouldn't expect you to suddenly shift to more history focused videos which is possibly one of the reasons you don't post videos often. And I also know you have the business side of your channel as well and am sure you help with that since I don't think you have a massive team on that side. Not entirely sure how to end this now so I guess this is that and I'll watch the video now.

[@destroyer1675]

After video response Ok glad it was just a Short and not an entire video. Makes me feel slightly better. Extra glad it wasn't AI VIDEO like I thought before watching and just AI Script. (Comparatively at least.) Couldn't find a Community post so still upset about that part. Also couldn't find an answer on if placebo testers know they make be testing a placebo. Glad you decided that AI wasn't the right fit for you and I agree it isn't.

[@peterreece6547]

Every time hear some one mention AI, I think back to when I used to drive past a farm where they did AI (artificial insemination) their fields were full of superb bulls of different breeds which they removed semen from.

[@wingnutbert9685]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...... The question is how many people reading this are now going to think this when they think AI??? LOL!

[@joeryerson9295]

I didn't see that video, but I don't watch KZbin shorts.

[@Anitainment_Site]

soo excited its not gonna be better then your's believe me

[@glenn_r_frank_author]

What would be funny is if some of the comments are from AI Bots instead of humans commenting on the AI script.

[@ruthconner4923]

Traditional you tubing, much better as Traditional archery

[@sjhall2009]

I didn't notice that the short script was ai generated, but I did feel like it was out of your character, and kind of cheesey.

[@garysurko332]

Keep real, there's enough phony suff keep archery shorts real. Like traditional Archery.

[@rontz]

„You didn‘t notice I posted an AI generated video“ Yup. Because you didn‘t post one. Of course we don‘t notice where the script comes from. Sometimes it‘s even hard to tell if there‘s a script for some videos at all. (Not for your videos, but from other channels ;) ) If you generated video-sequences for this script, we would notice, I guess. None of the usual warmth, more like an ad - and that‘s what I thought was the intent. When I watched the video, I remember it feeling strange though.

[@markturner1220]

I did see the at short, it was strange coming from you as it didn’t actually say anything

[@BillWrightabc]

Kramer., several thoughts... First, GenAI prompt engineering is a learned skill. While okay, your prompt, perhaps, could have used at least two more iterations to polish it. Second, the YT short form is a very hard platform for a "sales" video to motivate folks to either try trad archery or stick with their first tough trials. Finally, I LOVE every one of your videos! While I yearn to shoot again and return to my workshop, living in an apartment in NYC...yeah, well...

[@leonhorn8062]

Please stick to your old style bow making content.

[@nickgoodman1127]

AI is not capable of real human passion and feeling. perfect for documentaries not for inspirational videos

[@organicarchery]

No.

[@ArcheryGuy2]

Cool

[@oldbonesbushcraftrodjackso474]

Not into ai pure crap .

[@tyriqcleo5899]

Unfortunately time to unsub then 😮😢

[@stephentravis2250]

Can't stand AI

[@florianv102]

Have seen that video, has been pritty dramatic but it wasen't you.only Hollywood style.stay yourself!

[@janu4380]

Well I don't really watch shorts so no wonder I didn't see it until now. But AI videos are 👎 for me. They feel.. non human in a way? Like impersonal company speaking to you or trying to sell you something. No charachter, weird word choices, every sentence tries to be eye catching, there's no energy.

[@finflwr]

I didn't see it. But I've got to say I blanket boycott any ai content everywhere either way. Even if it 'seems' better. I want to see what human souls have to share. Zero interest in artificialness.

[@averagearchergaming]

Not really happy about this whole experiment. When you grow to trust a creator and their content, it feels a little like a betrayal to learn that they have deliberately deceived you. Even if it is for an experiment like this, and even after the reveal, it still leaves a very bad taste in the mouth. Please don't do this again.

[@peterwilson1295]

Ok, so we need a “war bow” for the people, for when the ********* is depleted. Should be single stave, at least 50lbs, either easily built, or a partial build started by Shatterproof Archery😮 Long bow, recurve or something in between 🤔 Thousands of them, “twice as long as a man”. Maybe not that long, but you get it. I’d pay extra for a branded piece by you. 👍🥷
