YouTube’s AI slop detector incorrectly targets Kurzgesagt as other creators fear same fate - Dexerto (www.dexerto.com)

YouTube’s system for suppressing low-quality AI content mistakenly targeted Kurzgesagt, leaving the channel with its worst-performing upload since 2013.

the current rage against AI is 90% driven by the idea that humans need to produce output sothat we can donate to them and give them money sothat they can live.

What an absolutely insane straw man

Despite them being a little out of wack and a terrible communicator, they do have a point. AI’s main selling point is centered around how it can make everyone more productive as if we actually need even more productivity. We’re all more than productive enough, AI is giving us nothing but unemployment(as those left are told to work harder), more climate destabilization, and reduced quality of life for every single living thing nearby a data centre.

Their first comment was also just plain bad, not gunna defend that at all. They seem kinda loopy.
