Why would anyone want to watch AI generated content? What's the point? I get using AI generation as a tool but if there's no human intention behind it, just a pure algorithm, why even bother?

Oh my, color me surprised /s But maybe the implementation of this will be the final straw for me, and I'll finally be able to commit to degoogling myself and delete my account and every app for good.
Oh, also the irony of a Youtube CEO talking about "a revolution" is not lost on anyone I hope. Eat the rich.

"Creators led this revolution"
The same way cows lead a slaughterhouse.

The "Unhook" addon (increasingly required for Youtube now, in my opinion) will still completely block this as it blocks all shorts. Fuck shorts anyway. Also as TechnologyConnections pointed out in a recent video, the subscription feed still and always has completely bypasses Youtube's recommended brainrot anyway and allows you to subscribe to and follow the creators and topics you actually care about. Until we have a viable alternative to Youtube (and hopefully stuff like this will drive that to happen sooner rather than later) the other option is to stick to subscriptions as much as possible and only subscribe to creators that don't abuse this or use shorts at all, preferably.

"That’s right, a one-stop shop for AI slop is incoming", brilliant sentence.
Damn. I read the headline, and I almost thought it was a "Report AI Slop" button. What a feature that would be!

Oh boy, a button that generates ai shorts. Combining my 2 least favorite things about YouTube.
replies:
YouTube should be fixing their buggy mess of a YouTube app, what a disaster. Every change they make, makes it worse.
Too bad this probably still won't drive people to other platforms.

If only NewPipe worked...

"One slop please"
Shit
You know when gizmodo reads like harddrive that it's some good shit lol
Hate slop, but I also approve of anything that makes it easier to wrest IPs away from Hollywood. Feeling conflicted and pessimistic.

YouTube is getting a new tool that generates Shorts
All I needed to know. I hoped for a button to report AI slop.
To opt out, do I have to pay the a subscription ?
