Also worth mentioning that the voice sounds like an ElevenLabs TTS voice,
the creator has no C++ repos (https://github.com/LazoVelko?tab=repositories),
has at least one repo related to AI, and most of the images in the video
are obviously AI-generated.
I'm actually impressed at how far AI slop has come, but when you know what
to look for, it's quite obvious that the whole video is nonsensical slop.
