@THERUSTEDGARDEN
I dislike ai immensely. Whenever I see I’m on an a i channel I give it a thumbs down. I’ve been watching your channel for years. Thank you for your content.
I sometimes ask AI questions about gardening, but I try to check things and make sure what it's telling me is correct. I can't stand AI videos. The medical ones are the worst. They have an AI person who never takes a breath while talking and the hand motions are all the same. Too obviously fake. So dangerous, too, should wrong info be given. Don't give up, Gary! Your knowledge has helped me so much!!!!
Worse, are AI doctors on Youtube and Youtube does not seem to care.
Thanks!
The thing about AI is know that they can ONLY repeat what has already been said elsewhere, there's no original thought or ,definitely, no experience. A person however has real experience to draw from.
I have been following Gary, I think, since the beginning of his podcasts. He has extensive experience and is out to make everyone's gardening experience successful and inexpensive. Thank you Gary for sharing all your knowledge and wisdom..
Thank you, Gary. I appreciate your videos so much. You and other passionate, REAL LIFE, content gardeners are why I have had confidence to start a veggie garden in my POA. You are such a great teacher. And your patience and passion for gardening is so well communicated through your videos. I love being able to type in, ‘Rusted Garden indoor tomatoes’, to find your content on growing Tiny Tim’s under a grow light. 😉 I’m sorry how AI is negatively impacting you. I will make a point to let Utoob know how much I dislike the fake gardening content. Thank you, again, for making the world a more alive and life-giving place by growing plants and food…and teaching others to do the same. 👏
I know you are a trusted, amazing, human, teacher, gardener! For many years now.
Thank you for doing what you do!
So sick of AI vomiting everywhere
How do we report them. I do a thumbs down. And usually put a comment there to thst it is AI.
Even in my mico niche. I have things stolen. I report it but I have to hope people find value in a human. Ps Now all the cool AI gardeners are going to have scruffy beards.
Gary Ive learned a lot from you, thank you. I am fortunate that I am able to identify these frauds. So sorry for the new generation still learning the difference between whats fake and whats not, and for you content creators having to pay for it. I hope you can beat these fakes. You are a great truthful creator, and I hope that people will quickly realise the difference and that the truth will conquer 🙏🏻
3:20 It's HILARIOUS watching yall experience having your concepts/creativity/content stolen & commodified without receiving a dime like knowledgeable BLAQppl HAVE ALWAYS EXPERIENCED AT THE HANDS OF youppl. And also why I promote GATEKEEPING Native sustainability/healing/knowledge/Parenting/wellness & Community-building practices amongst Ourselves — in alignment with the antiDEI that yall voted for & refuse to reevoullt against, of course.
Congrats on your "sponsorships" and whatnot 🤣🤣🤣: And A Happy well-deserved proj3ktESTHER to you all!!
I have been following Gary for years. He is as real as someone can be. I hate AI!!!!
Hi Willow!
Gary is 100% NOT AI. I've been watching you since the start and who I use as my reference library.
We've noticed other topic creators complain of the same thing as you just did. Hoping it's just a 'growing pain' phase and they will go after the AI scammers if we all keep on reporting them or at least commenting that they are AI.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! A.I WILL BE THE DEATH OF US ALL!!!!!
You are doing a great job teaching us. I did miss (or forget) what is the powder you put on the onions?
AI is, for the most part worthless useless slop as far as I'm concerned.
I been subscribed to your chanel for a couple, three years. Got some seeds from your shop last year. I only subscribe to real people as a 60 year old I see AI videos as a joke no matter what the content. Wrong information, bad/horrific pronunciation ect. Keep your head up because your the reason I don't have fungus gnats in my basement grow room lol!
I don't watch you a lot since my style is different. But because you are real, I upgraded to all your content.
My cookbooks were also plagiarized by ai, and many of us are involved in class action law suits. See if you can join one and sue them! Im so sorry this is happening to you too. It makes my blood boil to know that we work so hard, for machines to steal our work!
I really enjoy your educational videos, it has really helped me in my garden. Thank you.
I cant stand AI either
By the way the seeds I got from you are really doing good. Im happy with them.
Subscribed!
Freedom of speech and expression of opinions have been attacked since 9/11. Read the book 1984, it is just like 2026
I'm so sorry that AI is causing you this problem. Not only you but others. And that's why there needs to be some sort of regulation and forward thinking about how AI will affect our lives.
I really love your channel. I've watched it from a long time ago, and I learned a lot from you. I hope you further and continued success.
Your garden looks better than mine. Oh, I have eggplants and peppers and English peas and more, but my weeds are so tall they are limiting new weed formation. Dogs dug out most of my beets. They like my potatoes, too. If I could only train them to dig in the middles between the rows… One neighbor has a potbelly pig that has visited my garden. She sniffed at my garlic. I guess it wasn't ready yet.
Ryan Hall has addressed the problem by eating a bite of a fruit or vegetable when his video starts. Imagine hearing AI tell you the weather will be sunny and severe weather hits.
Gary i agree with you
i downvote all the AI videos. No AI can replace Gary
I hate them!! Please Youtube!!!! Get rid of them! Your audience are sick and tired of it, Wake up!!! Music business too, Stop!!!!
AI is ridiculous and definitely only watching videos from channels I know are reputable and/or am subscribed to. Same goes for web searches, I added a filter in to get rid of AI overview and tend to lean towards the Farmer's Almanac. In the end, you know you're getting a human answer if you talk to an experienced human.
It's not just you Gary, AI is affecting my channel also. They steel snippets of my videos and use it in faceless content. There is so much that it's impossible to report or stop it. Anyway, I agree and support your points in this video. Hopefully, people will support real gardeners over AI on YouTube 👍🙂
Gary, I’ve been following you for many years…you are so correct…and anytime I see these ridiculous, fake videos and advertisements, I immediately report and block. As everyone should. Thanks for everything you do for us. We appreciate you!
Yes very true .Love your videos so helpful and real❤❤❤
