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

  • Kurzgesagt is slop, But not AI slop

    Youtube’s system sucks, but I don’t feel bad for many of these channels. They used to be great. You could learn a lot while eating, or just entertain yourself without brainrot. For a few years now, however, increasing numbers of their videos have been sponsored by billionaires (or their chains of companies or foundations), either in part or in full. Some extreme cases are just plain propaganda.

    I was recently accused on Lemmy of using AI to write up a post (laced with links to appropriate Wikipedia articles). I’m still not sure how I feel about it.

    At the same time YouTube offers a prompt to generate more AI content. No, this is just a stunt to claim that it is difficult to detect AI slop, when in reality they want that content as it is more addictive, especially to kids.
