Who is watching this slop? Kids?
8-12 age range, just the right time to induce lasting brain rot.
Yes and old people. I work with a guy who is 66 years old and I’ve seen him on multiple occasions watching YT videos of girls dancing that is AI.
Reminds me of the the sexydancingladies skit from Viva la Dirt League
You were watching an AI video of him watching YT videos of girls dancing? Talk about AI-ception!
My mind has been AI blown!…
If I could get blown by AI, I would probably be more in favour of it
I legitimately want a setting on YouTube to block/remove AI content for my account, especially anything with an AI voice over. It’s all fucking trash. Normally a company would want to introduce features that are desirable to customers, but it won’t happen this time. Billionaires are all in on AI, and they don’t want to lose money if/when it flops, so I’m sure they’ll be no way for people to prevent AI being shoved down their throat
The “x” in the youtube browser tab or the “x” at the corner of the youtube app is the button that removes the slop
This but with Shorts, too.
If you’re using Firefox, there are several plugins available that remove YouTube Shorts completely.
They started to auto translate comments based on your one(!) language setting, completely destroying nuance in the process. Oh, you’re multilingual? TOO BAD! A lot of the translations don’t even make sense. It’s just word salad a lot of the time and they don’t even give you an option to see the original comment, title or video description! And of course there is no way to give Youtube feedback about it. They’re cooked. Their service is shit and the platform is suffocating from slop in more ways than I ever imagined. Like, I knew it would be bad but you even get bombarded with it when users aren’t even involved.
“Watch how this guy…” I cloud blow up when I hear this voice,sound. No matter how good the content might be
I am convinced Youtube and many other platforms are dying right now because instead of protecting their assets, they double down on AI slop that nobody cares about. Of course traffic will keep increasing first but that’s mostly from bot accounts spamming garbage and not actual users consuming content and ads. Server cost will explode while ad revenue will shrink. The corporations behind it have vast resources and will take down the Internet with them but their end is slowly approaching.
It’s all about those next quarter results
I instantly skip anything AI that attempts legitimacy. I’m irritated at the attempt to grab my attention with complete fakery.
I do occasionally watch some of the disturbing fever-dream clips simply because they are hallucinatory and seem to flow the way a human mind might grasp facets of something and amplify or distort the flow.
What can I say, this sounds like a plan to start requiring real IDs for security purposes, what smart guys… Great plan.
I went and watched a couple and… what. the. fuck.
