First of all, I've been a great fan of CGP Grey's work from a very long time. That being said, I doubt the need of a wikipedia article dedicated to a youtube video. Please, if someone thinks differently, let me know

It was covered by several high-profile orgs, including Forbes, the Huffington Post, The Verge, and more. That alone is enough to satisfy Wikipedia's notability standards. Woozybydefault (talk) 17:03, 24 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Reference to "Humans Need Not Apply"

In the PBS show "Two Cents" latest episode, they make a visual reference to "Humans Need Not Apply" in timestamp 2:02. Source: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBCRYZrfYXk" I believe we should add this as it demonstrates the fame of this youtube video, so much so that PBS mentioned it, despite the briefness of the mention. 360sphere (talk) 01:33, 24 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

The Title Changed

Latest comment: 7 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

All the videos on CGP Grey's channel have new titles now (I'm not sure why). Now this video is called "Automation: How Humans Became Horses" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pq-S557XQU&t=8s) but I wasn't sure which updates are appropriate or necessary given this change.
