"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

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.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Good to see a big social media company push back against the insanity for once.

Not to mention they are likely utilising AI in their crappy algorithm

I mean, they always have. YouTube's whole job is to get you to watch more YouTube. It sees you watched video A so now it trys to figure out what else you might like to watch next so it suggests video B based on your interests and watching patterns. What the algorithm specifically prioritizes has changed a few times, which is why there's been fads in the algorithm. But determining what is something you'd be interested in isn't something that's easy to put directly into code, but something that can "vibe" it out is a much better tool to use. Its actually one of the better use cases for AI (AI in broad terms not specifically LLMs or other generative slop currently on everyone's shit list).

Not when it first started they didn’t. In the noughties, when YouTube stopped being a dating site and started being a video-sharing site, the algorithm was pretty simple: first upload, first serve effectively. It’s only over 2 decades that meddling fingers have bastardised that poor site with AI and sloppy algorithms that churn up the muck and put crap in your feed
