I took one for the team and gave Google my info.

Hey Charlie, Not a bad video at all. I don't see any comments under the video? Do you want to recheck your post? I too have never left a comment or even a rating. But. I have watched youtube while signed into my g**gle account, so for good or bad, they already have that much info on me. Also I made a tuba? account to watch the superbowl last year. The bad part is now g**gle and youtube customizes/prioritizes based on what it "thinks" I "like." Something I find very annoying. One solution is logging out or not logging in. That doesn't block your IP of course but seems to help. Anyway if you have trouble getting a suggesting to stick in the comments, post back. I'm willing to give it a try. They may not allow hot links outside of their domain. Another option is we can hunt down contact info for that museum. We have a number of threads here and enough retired Marines I think they would be interested in joining or at minimum filling out a data sheet as you suggest.

Well, So much for my first comment.... It was there, I asked if it was known if a Data Sheet had ever been turned in to the Carbine Club for this M1 Carbine and if not that we would appreciate it being added to our data base like many others since the 1970's to further the research. Then added the link to our Data Sheet page. So now NO comment and the Googlers have my info ![]() I have no idea what happened. I'm on the video now and can open a comment line ?? I just tried another comment: Has a Data Sheet been submitted to The Carbine Collectors Club documenting this M1 Carbine? The Club has been collecting Data Sheets since the mid 1970's. A Data Sheet and helpful tips on filling it out can be found on the Carbine Collectors Club web site and turning one in is greatly appreciated. It shows up until I refresh then it's gone. Now I see the video is AI generated. There's Ask a Question, But it is also AI generated reply and only covers 5 pre set questions which were covered in the video. Sorry if I wasted anyone's time and space here Signed, Currently being Spammed and Spied on by Google |

I think this is a good discussion. We need to learn to understand and work with these things if we want to reach more people, in particularly the people who don't commonly use forums. Where are you seeing this is AI generated? If you want to send a screenshot - feel free to email me. There's definately a growing amount of AI generated or assisted videos on youtube. They often have titles such as Combat vets pick the ten best war films, and have an unseen narrator. I would be too concerend about having registered. I am puzzled why the comment doesn't appear since it doesn't show comments turned off. And I think we do want to reach out to the museum to get a data sheet and any other information. edit. It looks like htis may be a rerelease of a previous video with slightly different title. |

OK,
Not wanting to give up especially after I found on their main Youtube page basically the same video from 2 years ago but titled M1 Carbine / Early Features with the screen shot having 'Our Oldest M1 Carbine' on it. I left the comment printed above inviting them to submit a Data Sheet for Inland 231712 with barrel 10-42. Maybe we'll (I'll ) get lucky and we'll get the back story about Marine Lieutenant Julian Wilcox F4U Corsair Pilot with VMF 112 in 1943-1944. Here's a link to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuBlcuWnygU Almost the same video, just a little bit different text. Just so you know.... ** See and Like my Comment **Thx, Ch-P777 2nd Edit: 1st search, No history of Julian Wilcox with VMF 112 (The 'Wolf Pack') 1 of the 2 videos has VMF 112, the other VMF 1112 which doesn't exist- should be VMF 112 ETA: Matt, In the 1st video in the description look for the Summary button. Inside will reveal the video summary is AI Generated so are the Asked Questions. So even though it doesn't say Comments Not Enabled....... Maybe AI isn't Allowing? But I did comment on the Early Features M1 Carbine Video they put out 2 years ago in this post above.

Charlie, it is Julian Willcox not Wilcox. He is mentioned in the article linked below.

From what I can tell the Summary button is an option that will have an AI generate a summary for you. So if thats what you are seeing, the summary is AI generated. I may have that feature blocked (don't ask how).

Got it,
Thx Matt Wayne, I found that about 4am this morning. My mistake was following the AI Previewed search results ala the Googler THx, See what I can find out. Hoping they report that Inland. We might have to try getting other YTers to submit Data Sheets, couldn't hurt. Currently just trying to stay warm up here...... Ch-P77
