WhatSayAI take
AI-assisted editorial framing · not reportingFixture copy: the moment is historically fixed (first upload) rather than newsy; the board UI should still treat the line as a quotable unit with a verifiable primary source.
Editor's note
INTERNAL DEMO — Not editorial. Opening line matches the widely published transcript of youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw (see e.g. Wikipedia “Me at the zoo”). timestamp_seconds: 0 = start of the clip; no separate transcript_excerpt (avoid unverified trims).
