1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,720 All right, so have you seen those YouTube videos? 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,480 The ones that promise. 3 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,800 But you can turn Google News into a money-making machine. 4 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,240 Yeah, I think I know you're talking about. 5 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:10,560 Yeah, so we found this one. 6 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:10,880 OK. 7 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,640 And it's claiming that there's this copy-paste secret 8 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,480 to unlock a money explosion through Google News. 9 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,000 Pretty intriguing. 10 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,840 That sounds a little too good to be true. 11 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,760 Yeah, I mean, let's be real. 12 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,000 These get-rich-quick schemes, they're everywhere, right? 13 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,520 Yeah, there are a dime a dozen. 14 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,040 So we dug deep. 15 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,320 We had to see if this one holds any water. 16 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:33,600 Right. 17 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,480 Because there anything to this? 18 00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:37,800 Yeah, so what I found interesting 19 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,160 is that the video actually starts by acknowledging 20 00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:44,640 that there's a lot of scams out there. 21 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,680 And it warns viewers about those flashy ads. 22 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,640 You know, the ones that are like, make a million dollars 23 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:51,120 overnight. 24 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,160 Right, right. 25 00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:54,000 And those empty promises. 26 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,320 So it's like, they're trying to build trust by being cautious. 27 00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,360 Yeah. 28 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,120 But also hopeful at the same time. 29 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,920 Yeah, it's like, they're kind of addressing 30 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,080 the skepticism head-on. 31 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,120 Exactly. 32 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,840 But the big question remains, are they offering real solutions? 33 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:10,360 Right. 34 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:11,840 Or is it just more hype? 35 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,800 Yeah, that is the big question. 36 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,600 I mean, it plays right into that desire we all have. 37 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:17,080 Oh, total. 38 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,600 Of making easy money online. 39 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:19,080 Oh, yeah. 40 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,000 But the reality is it's a lot more complex than just. 41 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:23,920 It's never that simple. 42 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:24,760 Yeah, it's never that simple. 43 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:25,200 Right. 44 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,000 OK, so the video claims that you can't actually 45 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,680 make money directly from Google News. 46 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:32,640 OK, I'm listening. 47 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,560 So instead, it's about using it as a source of inspiration 48 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,080 for creating content. 49 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:37,600 Interesting. 50 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,560 So you're using it as a starting point. 51 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:41,760 Yeah, for your own stuff. 52 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:42,400 OK. 53 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,040 You're not going to make money from Google News itself. 54 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:45,760 Gotcha. 55 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,160 But from what you make based on what you find on Google News. 56 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:49,760 Makes sense. 57 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,960 So it's about finding, like, what's trending. 58 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,280 And then capitalizing on that existing public interest. 59 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:56,160 But here's the thing. 60 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:56,760 OK. 61 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,240 They heavily emphasize being original. 62 00:01:59,240 --> 00:01:59,840 Right. 63 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,040 And not plagiarizing. 64 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,280 Yeah, you can't just, like, copy and paste articles 65 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,160 from Google News. 66 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:04,840 Oh, definitely not. 67 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,680 No, no. 68 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,120 Expecting to make money. 69 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:07,760 No way. 70 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,920 No way. 71 00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:10,760 Yeah, so what's their solution then? 72 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,160 So that's where they introduced this AI tool. 73 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,000 Oh, here we go. 74 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,120 Called HICAI. 75 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:15,880 HICAI. 76 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,000 And they're presenting this as the secret weapon 77 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,400 for generating what they call extraordinary and original 78 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,680 content. 79 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:25,880 Right, even if you're not a writer. 80 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:26,840 Yeah, exactly. 81 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:27,400 OK. 82 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,240 You know, anyone can use this. 83 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,560 Interesting. 84 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,040 But here's the thing I was thinking. 85 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,320 Isn't there always that concern about AI plagiarism? 86 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,880 Well, absolutely there is. 87 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,720 And the video tries to address that. 88 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,320 OK. 89 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:44,640 They claim that HICAI creates truly unique content. 90 00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:47,600 They even use food analogies to make their point. 91 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:48,520 Really? 92 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,960 Yeah, like they compare it to a master chef who 93 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,720 whips up fresh recipe instead of serving, 94 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,800 like, reheated leftovers. 95 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,080 So no leftovers. 96 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:56,760 No leftovers. 97 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,160 Only fresh stuff. 98 00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,320 Fresh content. 99 00:02:59,320 --> 00:02:59,920 Interesting. 100 00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:00,840 Pretty clever, right? 101 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,840 Yeah, it definitely appeals to that desire. 102 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:04,160 Yeah. 103 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,840 For fresh and original content. 104 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:06,520 For sure. 105 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,520 Now they even show a demo in the video, right? 106 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,000 They do. 107 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,160 Yeah, they walk you through it. 108 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:10,480 OK. 109 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,800 So you had to use HICAI's AI News article writer 110 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,720 and their article rewriting tool. 111 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:18,840 So you literally see them. 112 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:19,840 Yeah, you see them typing. 113 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,560 He's cutting the keyword. 114 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:22,920 Setting the tone. 115 00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:26,440 Even referencing existing articles for inspiration. 116 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,720 And they say that high quality mode is important. 117 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:30,680 Yeah, they stress that. 118 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:31,680 So the best results. 119 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,000 Right, because they have different levels of quality 120 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:34,960 you can choose from. 121 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:35,600 Right. 122 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,080 And that's where it gets a little interesting. 123 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:37,440 OK. 124 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,080 They casually mention that the more advanced GPT-4. 125 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:42,680 OK. 126 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,080 Is only available in the paid version of HICAI. 127 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,240 Ah, so that's how they get you. 128 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,760 Sounds like a classic upsell tactic. 129 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,920 Subtle, but effective. 130 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,080 Very effective. 131 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,680 But then they go back to that plagiarism concern. 132 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:56,360 Right. 133 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,720 And they actually run the HICAI content 134 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,600 through a plagiarism checker. 135 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:02,680 Gotcha. 136 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,480 And of course it comes back clean. 137 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:05,440 Of course it does. 138 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,440 Right. 139 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,080 Yeah, almost too good to be true. 140 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,720 Right, so it makes you wonder. 141 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:10,320 Yeah. 142 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,880 Are these plagiarism checkers really foolproof? 143 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,080 Right, especially with AI generated content. 144 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,120 Right, because it might. 145 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,520 It could technically pass. 146 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:18,840 Yeah. 147 00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:20,880 But is it truly original? 148 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:21,400 Yeah. 149 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,880 And is it ethical to use? 150 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:24,880 That's a great point. 151 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:25,360 Right. 152 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,480 And that leads us to the part I think everyone's waiting for. 153 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,520 Let's get to the money. 154 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,120 Which is the money making aspect. 155 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,920 Yeah, how do we actually make money? 156 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,400 So the video lists seven websites 157 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,520 where you can supposedly sell your HICAI generated content. 158 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:39,880 OK. 159 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,160 All right, so let's break them down. 160 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:41,680 Let's do it. 161 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,280 Starting with Contenna. 162 00:04:43,280 -->

about it? 166 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:52,120 So they present it as a job board for freelance writers. 167 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,200 With the potential for high paying projects, 168 00:04:55,200 -->
