Kinda curious that a lot of people complain about "videos replacing text" yet these "inaccurately paraphrase Wikipedia out loud while playing a Powerpoint made from Wikipedia/Commons and other images" channels like the one you linked, Asianometry and so on are huge and popular. And those at least write a (highly derivative or essentially plagiarized) script and read it, there's channels that do the same thing but with GPT for the script and TTS for the voice, and even those are pretty big.
edit: Funnily enough both kinds of channels have the "GPT issue" in that they always want to sound confident and authoritative, so they never point out if they are unsure about something. Compare this to channels like Applied Science or Breaking Taps where they very clearly point out when they don't understand something or are unsure of their understanding.
