    Why do these people having such a hard time coming up with articles? YouTube ones? Like as in 20% of 60% TikTok slop is YouTube slop? Does 20% of 40% YouTube slop?

    Ps. I know what they mean. They should have just said “while, YouTube is 20%” instead YouTube ones. punctuations. Makes a huge difference.

    This seems to imply that before genai TikTok had quality videos and not handcrafted slop?

    The average person in 20 years is going to be so mentally cooked.

    I’m using various front ends for YouTube on different devices. Are there any that filter out AI like they do ads?

      It’s probably because the ai slop gets disproportionately promoted to the top, and once you accidentally watch one, that’s it, the algorithm decides that’s what you like now

        I only use YT through invidious front ends, so I only see the promoted ones, but whew… Every topic has some and they bubble to the top a lot.

    Yup. This is, in part, why I leave some of my mistakes in my videos. That’s the easiest way to prove to people that my content isn’t AI without arguing about it.

    I used to get a lot of the same AI panic-buy these items now for the coming economic collapse vids. 47 different channels saying “when the shelves are empty these are the 9 items nobody thinks to get” and it’s the same AI images of some dipshit in fatigues

    Is that of newly uploaded content or overall? Because the latter is terrifying considering YouTube is 20+ years of content.

      I mean if you go to obscuretube or whatevs most vids are juat people doing random atuff so slightly surprising too. Guess most videos are actuallt just hidden tho… wonder how many are private.

      Also shorts probably make up almost all of the “ai slop”.

      Even considering that it doesn’t really stop being surprising I guess.

    On Youtube, there are a multitude of new “hosts” like C.S. Lewis (a dead author), sitting at a desk and spewing almost legible gibberish (in an AI voice resembling their own) vaguely referring to their favorite topic. Also psychologists, historians, and more. I’ve started to look more and more for videos over three years old if I want a decent history program.

    Some are hours long. More and more, every day.

    The ones that annoy me are “this is the 2027 Canyonero!” and it’s obviously an AI generated car. At this point I have a couple channels I can rely on and block or ignore the rest.

      There is a car rental company that has been pushing legitimately awful AI ads on YouTube. Congrats, I probably wasn’t going to rent a car from you. But now I will specifically avoid your company if I ever need to rent a car.
