All my Youtube feeds are filling up with AI videos made within the past month or two. It’s just an endless stream of newly created content made by people who are just chasing after just a little bit of attention. It’s all just rehashed crap, remade videos scraped from previous videos, remixed and remade again and again.
It wasn’t so noticeable a year ago but now it’s getting worse. It’s just an endless stream of new AI videos and there is more and more every day.
A year ago, it was decently made AI video with a bit of realistic content … now it’s just all made up crap of all sorts filled with all kinds of made up information to sound as authentic as possible. It’s so easy to just scrape together a bunch of content, send it all through an AI and make it sound like some sort of authentic documentary that would fool the least attentive viewer.
In my experience, YouTube without history is the garbage. It looks like cheap Jerry Springer-style tv that apparently people in my country watch.
I taught YouTube for years what I watch, and thankfully recommendations mostly reflect that. I even open links from social media in incognito tabs to avoid polluting the recommendations. Although I’d still watch maybe one out of ten of them.
