    i read somewhere that ai will generally compose images of humans using the same 8 or 9 poses and camera positions

    ai must have gathered that the pointing thing must be a key-frame human activity

    This is just YouTube default algorithm now. Ai slop videos that are so obviously fake and often all they are is just a slideshow of ai images along with a text to speech narrator reading AI text

    Out of curiosity, did the original video have a finger-pointing still like this?

    No, it was a song by a band from the 1960s (which could explain the Bob Dylan suggested videos)

    Ah, so it's not an "algorithm finding similar poses in videos" thing, it's just AI deciding that's a Human Pose? 😬

    I'm convinced this is a psyop to make boomers and older genx question their own memory. this opens the door for further washing and manipulation.

    You’d like the DeArrow browser extension.

    DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube. The goal is to make titles accurate and reduce sensationalism. No more arrows, ridiculous faces, and no more clickbait.

    […]

    Titles can be any arbitrary text. Thumbnails are screenshots from specific timestamps in the video. These are user submitted and voted on. By default, if there are no submissions, it will format the original title to the user-specified format, and set a screenshot from a random timestamp as the thumbnail. This can be configured in the options to disable formatting, or show the original thumbnail by default.

    I was just watching this and it seems related to your situation:

    On youtube, you have to learn to use the DON'T RECOMMEND CHANNEL BUTTON a lot

    There is too much A.I. slop on yt spewing out wrong information and trying to rewrite history it is disgusting.

    I get that I'm apparently the weird one here, but I don't get why people put up with this instead of just using your subscriptions feed. I turned off watch history a long time ago and it has been great.

    I've found loads of actually good and interesting high effort content from recommendations.

    Indeed. I understand the algorithm hate round here, and if someone decides that they don't want any recommendations from Google at all that's their business, but I do appreciate some of what they send my way. Recently, whether due to a tweak on the back end or a quirk of my recent watch history, I've found I've been getting a fair number of very small channels filtering into my recommendations. Without those recs, I'm never gonna find someone's 712 view video from 3 years ago about scratch building an original spaceship design, so I'm happy to have a space where those can show up in addition to my personally curated subscription feed.

    I just saw the first one (Rodney Dangerfield, top left) and the last one (Johnny Carson, bottom right) when I was watching a video just now. I usually watch videos on Youtube in a private browser tab by manually searching for the person's channel or video that I want to watch. The recommended videos are always absolute garbage.

    Yup.

    I made a video earlier this year about how you can (over time) train the algorithm to give you less of this crap. Unfortunately there's just no concrete setting for turning off recommendations that contain AI slop, but you can tell the system to give you less with a little engagement.

    A while back YT wanted me to "enable watch history", which was until then already enabled, I guess? Well, I refused to do it, so my home page was blank. That's when I switched to using the Subscriptions page as my home page on YT, and the site has been much better now. I still get recommended videos on the right side, but I can easily ignore them.

    On a different note; the resemblance between Jeff Bezos and Rodney Dangerfield is striking! Are they father and son?! Both with these hellsapoppin’ high bloodpressure eyes and their hair combed back.

    I've been using YouTube since before Google bought it. I remember having to merge accounts at one point.

    Yeah, pre shit-show webshites like YouTube, Reddit/Imgur, etc were great, but they had profit incentive.

    It's why we must cherish & support the relatively (by comparison) unenshitified services like Wiki, even Mozilla, etc. (+ ofc all the great foss projects).
