I absolutely agree.

There's so many AI slop videos present on YouTube, it's insane. AI generated script, AI generated video with AI generated voice. Clickbait videos solely designed to generate ad revenue or to mislead.
I would pay money for an app that filtered out the AI videos like we can do with the YT Shorts and promotions nested in videos.
 
Just have YT put in a filter to determine if the narriation includes the names "Lily" or "Marcus" in the story. If one or both of those names are included, it is definately "A.I." generated.
 
This sounds good but I have seen several accounts get cooked by AI and even with community support behind them on X the appeal process gets shot down (most likely also by AI).
 
They need to mark them up when the audio has been modified too, when they've applied Automatic Pitch Correction to A440 etc.
 
After reading most of the comments, people complaining about YouTube and AI. It's clear to me that most of you haven't been outside since covid lock down. 😆

There is more to life than ad blockers and YT.

The thread topic is YouTube and AI. Why would anybody be posting about their outdoor activities in a thread about Youtube and AI?

YouTube today said it is introducing automatic AI detection, with automatic AI labeling applied to videos with "significant photorealistic AI use."

YouTube is also improving labeling for AI-generated content, making it clearer when a video has "photorealistic and meaningfully AI altered or generated content."

Disclosures for content that is "unrealistic, animated, or slightly altered" will continue to be tucked in the expanded description of the video.
Curious as to how the bold-faced qualities will be defined, interpreted, and quantified.

Creators are still expected to manually disclose when realistic AI is used for videos even with the new automatic labeling system. Creators who think their content was incorrectly identified as AI-generated can update the disclosure status in YouTube Studio, but disclosures are permanent for content created with YouTube's AI tools like Veo and Dream Screen or content with C2PA metadata indicating fully generative AI.

YouTube is also improving labeling for AI-generated content, making it clearer when a video has "photorealistic and meaningfully AI altered or generated content."

An AI label will be shown just below the video player and above the description for long-form videos with AI content, and for shorts, the label will appear as an overlay on the video. The updated labeling applies to content that is photorealistic and may fool people, rather than unrealistic content.

Disclosures for content that is "unrealistic, animated, or slightly altered" will continue to be tucked in the expanded description of the video.

Separately, YouTube added a new customizable content feed that users can shape based on interests, moods, or preferred topics. Users can type in a custom prompt covering what they want to see, and a content feed will be generated.

Custom content feeds have been in testing since November, but they are now rolling out to signed-in viewers in the U.S. on the YouTube mobile app and desktop. YouTube search and watch history must be turned on for the feature to work.

That’s good. However if the detection is somehow thwarted we are automatically assuming it not a fake.
 
ABOUT TIME! I've flagged several videos of late that I got about half way through and realised that some if not all content was AI. Clocked this when I googled a YT documentary and the entire thing had been AI fabricatred! Nobody in it was real! Now I'm super wary of all Youtube channels I watch!

They get easy to spot once you know what to look for. Sadly it's hard to tell from the thumbnail, but watching the first minute is usually enough to make a determination.

Low follow counts, generic stock graphics and monotone inflections in the narration are obvious signs it's AI generated.

I always make a point to downvote AI generated videos on Youtube.
