A/C Drain, need some help

This is the A/C drain from the attic. As you can see, its killing the grass. The drain is in the middle of the house and that side faces a ditch about 20 ft away.
Would a french drain be the best solution?
Ive thought that maybe the attic was to hot as well, but I measured it at 116 when it was 90+ outside so I think its ok. Or maybe not, I dont know.

If there is a drain Vent pipe in the attic, you could reroute that drain to that and just do away with the outside drain. If you do that, make sure you install a pee trap.

Do you know if it is draining the primary or secondary pan? Most primary pans drain into the plumbing, if it is your secondary pan you need to unclog the drain that the primary drains into
An ac unit puts out a lot of water and should not drain that close to the house, it is an invitation to termites, if that is your primary pan I would look at adding some pvc pipe and trenching it away from the slab

Are you sure that water is from the A/C?
Is the water warm?
Looks like a hell if a stream to be A/C condensation.

Repair issues aside, I bought some pvc connectors so that I could attach a water hose to keep the water away from the foundation. I used an old hose so my cost was about five bucks.

as others have said,primary is plugged up. Probably at the trap.
And i watched your video. Sounded to me like water cold sizzling on the coil tubes. I would need to spray that area with dish soap and water in a spray bottle to verify that it was indeed leaking.
