• YouTube is making it easier than ever to spot AI-generated videos.
• The company is rolling out new labels for both long-form videos and Shorts that make it clear which videos were produced using AI.
• YouTube is also rolling out a new automatic detection system to spot AI videos even if a creator doesn’t make a disclosure.
Also they need to ban Ai videos from YT Kids
Or just ban them all together
will someone please think of the retention numbers
a measure that will actually help protecting kids? Not on their watch
The problem isn’t spotting them. They’re fucking obvious slop. The problem is that they have inundated every fucking crevice of that website so you can’t watch a goddamn video without tripping over one.
I actually support this as long as the false positives are not too bad
The problem is most humans are horrible at it. youll see 10 year old videos reposted and people scream AI!!!
btw: my new mission is to not refer to anything as ai. its a bad blanket statement. so video generators or llms.
I don’t think Youtube’s history on false positives for things is all that stellar. Maybe if they get AI to help it will… oh, no, it will make it far worse than even Youtube can do alone.
Let us filter out the AI videos cowards
It kind of does it by itself if you use the algorithm correctly, I was seeing some AI slop in my shorts like a year ago but after having disliked it/reported it, it seems to have gone away. I haven’t seen a single AI video in many months
That’s a trial and error approach for something that could easily be a simple setting.
It also doesn’t work if you use an alternative front end or aren’t signed in.
Additionally it also depends entirely on the content you view and your viewing enough of it to train the algorithm, which means new accounts or little used accounts have no recourse.
Same. I never see AI slop. Or politics. My algorithm is dialed in and my recommended is all bangers.
Sounds good now. Sounds like an excuse to ‘accidentally’ flag videos they don’t want getting clicks in the future.
You mean the YouTube that dumps out AI summaries of the videos you’re on their platform specifically to watch directly? That YouTube?
Surely they aren’t a company composed of two-faced slimeballs like their parent. That would be unheard of.
Obligatory “fuck AI,” however I’ve reluctantly found that the AI summaries can be helpful on occasion, such as when deciding if a video with a clickbaity title is actually worth watching, or when I’m on YouTube looking for a solution to a problem (in which case the summary can sometimes get me the content way faster than watching the video). So of all the dumb shit YouTube has done to their platform in recent years, I’d argue the AI summaries fall on the “actually not that bad” end of the spectrum.
That’s very fair, it’s definitely in the vein of what LLMs are (theoretically) meant for, i.e. summarization and language parsing/analysis. I find that LLMs work pretty well for translation too. It’s just a shame that executives have run it to the ground like they usually do. And the people poisoning us are the same ones treating it in this case.
Hello. Thank you for clicking on [this video]. Today. We will be looking at the topic of. Detecting eye videos on You Tube.
My bet is it will only check for SynthID
It’s very easy to not watch the ai videos when it’s getting more difficult to watch youtube without an account.
