• 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.
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
There’s plenty of long form AI content lately too. Wikipedia articles make for great YouTube videos, and there’s no shortage of them. I’ve run into several channels lately where it took me about 30 seconds to realize something was off, and checking the channel’s history you can usually tell by finding older videos which actually have a person in them who is clearly very different than the narrator in the newer videos, or by just not having any older videos at all.
I’ve ran into those too 🥲
What kills me is all the comments completely oblivious to the situation
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.
Every single AI short video that shows up I thumbs down and tell me never to show me that channel again. Doesn’t stop like 85% of my feed from being essentially the same AI short videos by users with names like agagin9927385, liafu63836662, or crazyvideos445442…I spend more times thumbs downing and saying never to show this again than I do watching the videos.
