A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

But there are boatloads of slop already on YouTube, and the algorithm doesn't care if you like or dislike it. People will put a dislike and a mean comment but the algorithm sees that as engagement and the slop wins.

Is there genuinely a bunch of AI on YouTube? I watch a lot of content on there, and I don't think I've ever been recommended an AI generated video.

Obviously I've had my account for a while, so they've got a good idea of what I like to watch.

Pretty easy to spot them if you're looking for history related stuff that's not common, like African kingdoms during the early medieval period or even some Mesoamerican studies - it may start off with real images, but soon it's only AI slop and that's when you realize even the voice might be AI. I fell for 2 such videos thus far.

Yeah, in particular music and "fake trailers".
