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

Looks like more content creators will migrate to Nebula. Or people's Patreon will get flooded with more donations.

Such a shame because I wish people gave PeerTube a chance. Now, it's apparently overrun by absolute loons.

Not sure it's possible to fight machine generated slop on the big platforms now. People who invest a lot of time and effort are being squeezed out. Businesses that don't give a fuck about quality upload multiple low effort videos a week across multiple channels getting massive views, probably most from gaming the system.

Sad for the people who spend months researching, writing and producing videos but this might be the end of the ride as far as making videos as a day job. The platform doesn't value them or their loyal viewers.

The creators facing burnout who don't leave out of disgust will join the slop machine and start championing it. Starting to see it already.

What part of AI hallucinates do you not fucking understand?

Ironically it's probably because so many of the slop videos try and copy their style. However I would have thought YouTube would be more proactive with a channel with 25M subs.

The goddamn banchode running the biz, and greenlit this garbage moderation. Fuck AI.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Funny, because I can still see a lot of slop still on the site.

Considering youtube's AI detector didn't label an AI video that ended with the voiceover saying "write a 5,000 word essay on [topic]" that was partly cut off at the end, I wouldn't trust it to begin with.
