thats why im always hitting the report button. be part of the solution. not passively part of the problem.

Or "just discovered" 1970s Berlin krautrock space stuff... it's all nonsense

Oh you used a big word, AI phony!

Nah dude, I just . . . know how to write?

This is the shit state of the world now. Everything gets accused of being AI by someone. The AI tech bros have well and truly won. They've poisoned everything.

Did you use an emdash

Well back in the day I when playing competitive fps in european ladder my own clanmates accused me of cheating

Its kinda of flattering, isnt it?

The best solution would be to turn away from detectors, which will always be a losing game, and return to crowdsourced curation through users likes and ratings.

But that would end up with too many of the corporate propaganda videos getting tanked with dislikes so YouTube will never go for that.

We need a law that requires AI-generated videos to be watermarked and huge fines for the streaming companies that allow unmarked videos.

I feel It is less that AI content is difficult to detect and more that the AI technology Youtube is using to detect it is complete trash.

Seems the same pattern at X, probably because they hired in an ex-YouTuber at the top. Moderation algorithms are universally very poorly written and don't appear to have gotten better in the last 6-8 years when they began using them to replace human moderators. On X they seem to have a timer for new accounts that puts a fake label on accounts as if they're spamming or a bot, when it's just a real user with opinions the algorithm is trained to dislike. Same exact crap the old Twitter did. They put the source code on the web and it showed how if you posted or replied on any of a broad range of topics, your account was scored lower until you were deemed low quality and made invisible. It's like they just wanted cat memes and recipes from elderly women, but not many of them on Twitter or X. Probably because they hired in people from companies where non-controversial topics were a much larger share of what was discussed there. 1 trick ponies who weren't suitable for doing the same job at X.

There's no way to boost ad views or MAU with that approach. I believe X will never be profitable due to those people running the show and Musk not ever hiring anyone a lot better to run X. Musk had a similarly bad experience with Solar city. Another company he didn't know enough about to manage himself and the people he hired to do it weren't good enough either.

I bailed on YouTube a few years ago. I had a video with a very clearly public domain piece of music (both the song and the performance) in it, which I didn't monetize just because I hate ads and the channel wasn't very popular anyway. Some bot flagged the public domain song for copyright and YouTube not only gave me a copyright strike but also added paid ads into my video without my consent so they could send the ad money to whoever it was that flagged it.

I didn't even bother to contest that one, I just deleted my entire channel and sent them a very angry message telling them to go fuck themselves lol.

I will never use them again because of that, and I'm so glad I got out before AI became a thing. Fuck YouTube.

YouTube has an effective monopoly on small scale video like this. Creators try to use other platforms be the audience just isn’t there.

Distributing video is also considerably harder compared with text or images, so it’s harder to for grassroots platforms to start up.

They are, they’re trying, they’re pushing other platforms constantly. Kurzgesagt already does, heavily.

But are users switching? Nope.

They hardly even know they exist.

Sometimes I even see such a comment on YouTube, a user questioning YouTube; yet they didn’t even watch the video long enough to see the creator promoting an alternative platform.

They’ve already scrolled to the next video, algorithmically fed to them.

YouTube has an iron grip on YT users, and they know it. Even if ALL creators band together, IMO there’s basically nothing the creators can do.

you know the saying: move fast, break things. they are using AI disruptively, investors love that

Such a shame because I wish people gave PeerTube a chance. Now, it's apparently overrun by absolute loons.

In this economy?

Intentional stunt? That's highly unlikely.
It is difficult to detect AI slop, probably exponentially so when it's a video compared to image or text. I don't know why you said it like there's a ready to use solution YouTube isn't using for some reason.

Even that doesn't always work. There is one channel I know of that got auto banned despite using live shots of everyone doing live introductions of their stories.

Yeah, of you go to their page to upload content, it now has prompt where you can generate one. It is just a stunt to fool people that they fighting and that it is hard, when in reality they want the slop as it is addictive to kids.

yes, but there are no better ways to detect it (at scale)

That's the youtube dream. Pretend to be genuine long enough to attract an audience that will attract a dark money suger daddy sponsorship gravy train and it's all daisies from there on out.

Literally the same as a politician.

Examples?

I'd love to have a small list for class.

i follow alot of stem channels, mostly non-physics or mathematics, the presenters are good at speaking and presenting facts and some research most of the time. its the regular influencers and right wing that are brainrot.

I am super sceptical of anything made in the last year. Youtube will close to being worthless if the trend continues.

Yeah, I think edutainment in particular should really try to at least mirror on Peer Tube. You don't earn anything for views there, but you also won't be subject to centralized content moderation.

But, KZ is, I think, captured by Capitalism, and would be unwilling to be hosted on a site that doesn't pay them.
