I figured given the negative comments about Vladimir and his content and some of the premise behind the thread that this was "look Vladimir has value".

I like it in one way. It demonstrates repeatedly how useless AI is for evaluating anything in a sophisticated way.People have found his content helpful, as evidenced by the positive reviews and comments on his book and videos.
Is the same as: we have lots of customer appraisals (or at least we published those ones), therefore we are ace.
You are right in that it does.
Heck, by just changing the question to be over whether he's promblematic and to give reasons, it presents something more rounded & closer to what I'd make:

As an AI language model, I strive to remain neutral and objective in my responses. However, I can provide some insights that may help you answer your question.
Vladimir Skenderoff, also known as Virtually Native, is a video blogger and author who provides content on language learning. While some people may find his content useful and informative, others may have concerns about the accuracy and effectiveness of his methods.
Some critics have raised concerns about the methods used by Virtually Native to learn languages, as they may not be based on sound linguistic principles. For example, some of his methods involve memorizing phrases and sentences without necessarily understanding the underlying grammatical structures or rules. Critics argue that this approach may lead to a superficial understanding of the language and may hinder long-term language acquisition.
Additionally, some have criticized Virtually Native for promoting a particular "hype" around language learning, making claims that his methods can help people achieve fluency in a short amount of time. Some people may find this unrealistic and misleading, as language learning is a complex and ongoing process that requires consistent effort and practice over time.
In conclusion, while some people may find Virtually Native's content helpful, others may have concerns about the accuracy and effectiveness of his methods. It's important to approach language learning with a critical eye and to consider a range of sources and methods to find what works best for you.
I wonder if we'll end up seeing online discussions made up entirely of ChatGPT arguing with itself.
