Help me find a Lost YouTube Channel - "Computerphile the AI"
At this point, I'm doubting if this channel was ever real and I didn't dream it up.
I searched on reddit, youtube, google, wayback machine and archive.today and was unable to find anything about this channel. I remember that I used to watch this channel a long time ago.
It had a robotic AI voice and the channel icon and videos background was a "circuit brain" stock image (which I think I actually found) with a smiley face photoshoped on it. The stock image and my rendition of the channel logo are below. The voice was it's gimmick as it was using it since way before the AI boom. They also lightly roleplayed as a robot in the videos with jokes referencing Skynet, the terminator and so on.
This channel had some issues with youtube (was taken down) at some point because of the AI voice when youtube came down on automated slop channels. The channel did come back after that and upgraded the voice to a smoother one.
Sometime after that I unsubscribed. The last video I remember watching from them was a iceberg meme chart exploration/commentary.
Recently I remembered it existed and wanted to check it out, only to find it seemingly disappeared. I searched for it to the best of my admittedly not great abilities and found nothing. I might be going crazy.
If anyone knows anything, I would like to hear it, if only to confirm that I'm not going crazy.
I wish I could post this on r/lostmedia but I just created this account to post this, so If this goes nowhere... well maybe I won't give the search up but I don't feel like farming karma just for this.
