I'm now convinced that not just the images in the video, but the script and
likely the voiceover are entirely AI-generated.

One of the first points in the video is that Java's (int) x is much cleaner
than the static_cast<int> that you allegedly "have to use" in C++.
Obviously, the (int) x syntax is valid in C++ too, so this argument makes
zero sense.

How can someone be knowledgeable enough to produce one hour worth of C++
critique, with some reasonable points, but have no idea that C-style casts
exist? This is totally implausible unless the script is AI-generated.
Making fun of C++'s (T), static_cast, reinterpret_cast, const_cast,
dynamic_cast, std::static_pointer_cast, ... multitude of casting would have
made a lot of sense for the chapter on casting. If the author had any human
knowledge on the topic of C++, surely that would have been mentioned.

The most likely explanation is that the author looked at (int) in Java,
asked ChatGPT what the C++ counterpart is, got back static_cast, thought
"this looks ugly", and generated a script from that.
